Former Bigg Boss season 19 contestant Mridul Tiwari, after his eviction, discussed his relationship with BB 19 co-contestant Gaurav Khanna. The social media influencer regards Gaurav as his very close friend.

In an interview with IANS, Mridul expressed that he was completely genuine and didn't pretend at any point during his time on the reality game show. "You must have noticed that I've never exaggerated my performance," Mridul stated.

He remarked, “And following me, the person who did nothing merely for show was GK." Both my friends and GK (Gaurav Khanna) never performed solely for the sake of exposure." Continuing the discussion about his relationship with fellow housemates, Mridul stated, “I harbour no animosity towards anyone. If a person comes to me kindly and demonstrates true transformation, I will always

embrace friendship with them." The doors welcome all."

Regarding Gaurav, he mentioned, “Regardless of the circumstances, Gaurav Khanna will forever be my friend." The social media sensation, who got removed from the show in the middle of the week and only days before the finale, commented on his eviction, stating, “My feelings aren't as important as those of everyone else. When numerous individuals sensed that something was off, and it was obviously apparent, then it is certainly worth pondering. Had I been removed in the same manner as others, perhaps it wouldn't have been a significant problem. However, the methods of planning and execution seemed unjust."

Discussing his choice to join Bigg Boss 19, Mridul remarked, “Indeed, it was completely the correct choice. The affection that others hold for me is something I can never abandon, neither now nor later. That is what maintains my connection to everyone. I have never opposed it, and I never intend to."
