Superstar Salman Khan, who is currently the host of the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19’, greatly values contestant Gaurav Khanna for his calm and strategic gameplay. Describing him as a joy to work with, Salman mentioned in the recent 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode that he will soon team up with Gaurav on a project.

Gaurav became the initial finalist to obtain a Bigg Boss 19 Ticket to Finale. When Salman asked the housemates if Gaurav had completely shown himself on the show, they rebuked him for being careful.

“The approach that GK has taken at home is quite perilous, yet from the very beginning, he has always maintained his composure and refrained from speaking ill of anyone. I'm aware that someone like Gaurav could be a liability to the show, the producers, to me, and to himself as well. Regardless of whether you refer to it as his character or his approach, he has remained consistent with it from the very beginning.” Salman said.

He added, "If this reflects his personality, I admire him; however, if it's his gameplay, then respect, man. I’m unsure if he will succeed in the show or find employment elsewhere since people may perceive him as just lounging at home. They might question why they should assign him roles, believing he has grown indifferent. However, his character will be highly valued. Furthermore, his family, friends, and spouse will hold immense respect for him. Working with him will be a pleasure. I will be collaborating with Gaurav shortly.”
