He further dove into his Bigg Boss 19 experience, weighing in on his principles, personal goals, friendships, and more. “From my perspective, a winner is someone who doesn’t repeat his mistakes, one who doesn’t do anything that my own family wouldn’t like to watch. It was always said that Bigg Boss is a fight show, people lose their temper and use abusive language. But, I made a promise to myself before going inside the house – to not use foul words, body shame, and do everything my own way. It was a fun journey,” he shared.

The actor gave a special mention to his friends and Bigg Boss 19 contestants, stand-up comedian Parnit and influencer Mridul Tiwari. “The people who didn’t like or love me on the show, I will try to do better in the next show. My two younger brothers – Pranit and Mridul, sat me down and said that I should come on social media, it is very important. I have no idea about this world. This is for the both of you, I made a promise. You both are my seniors in this area, I apologise if I make any mistakes. I don’t even know how to go live. This is me trying something new.”
Gaurav Khanna also thanked Salman Khan for his constant support on the reality show. He said, “I will always be thankful to Salman sir. I did Bigg Boss for him, I am a big fan. People feel that he scolds the contestants on weekend episodes, but he actually intelligently gives you pointers in between to up your game. I understood what he wanted me to tweak in my game, other people couldn’t understand that I already worked on myself.”
Lastly, he opened up about the biases of fellow contestants in the Bigg Boss house and playing the game the way he wanted. “I want to thank my fans, if you weren’t there, I wouldn’t have had such an amazing end to this journey without you all. So many Bollywood celebrities and television fraternity supported me and took a stand for me. I want to thank all of them. My biggest regret was trusting people too soon and being taken for granted, which happened in the house as well, I am working on it,” the Anupamaa actor concluded.
