Winner of Bigg Boss 19, Gaurav Khanna has won over a lot of people, and his most recent victory is proof of that. His parents are incredibly proud of their son, much like his followers.

Talking to IANS, Gaurav Khanna’s father said, “There were also contestants like Zeishan Quadri and Abhishek Bajaj who were very aggressive, and there were many fights between them and Gaurav. But I knew Gaurav would manage things on his own, because inside that house, no one can help you; you must stand for yourself.”

What did Gaurav's father say about Farrhana?

When asked if he ever got angry watching his son be targeted, he said, “I did get very angry when Farrhana Bhatt mocked him and called him a ‘superstar’ in a demeaning way. She questioned his work and his career as a TV actor. That upset me a lot.”

He added, ‘At that moment, even Gaurav’s anger was visible; his throat veins were popping. If I had been there, I don’t know what I would have done. I might have even slapped Farhana.”

In an interview with IANS, the happy father discussed his son's performance in the show. “In the beginning, I didn’t really enjoy watching him play inside the house. There were too many fights, and I couldn’t understand why he was getting involved,” said Gaurav’s father. “But once I saw him handling situations and even winning against others, I realised he was doing it with a calm mind. Fighting is not in his nature at all, so seeing him stay composed made me really proud,” said Gaurav Khanna’s father.

He further added, “He is very determined. If he decides he wants to achieve something, he will give it his all. That’s how he was even during MasterChef; once he set his goal, he worked hard until he achieved it. I had full confidence that he would do the same here too.”
