During a recent Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan lauded Gaurav Khanna for his impressive game strategy and self-restraint inside the Bigg Boss 19 house.
Salman praised Gaurav for maintaining control over his language since the start of the show, emphasizing that such composure is rare given the intense dynamics of the house. He highlighted that the strategy Gaurav has implemented, though effective, “is actually very risky” and requires careful calculation to succeed.
Recalling a specific incident when Gaurav had an intense argument with Farrhana Bhatt over her comment on TV actors, Salman noted that despite fuming in anger, Gaurav “inke muh se koi aisi baat nahi nikli.” He added that this restraint makes Gaurav a unique player, acknowledging, “I know ke person like Gaurav for a show like Bigg Boss is a disadvantage to a show, to makers, to me,” appreciating the blend of strategy and composure he brings to the game.
Salman’s praise highlighted Gaurav’s ability to balance tactical gameplay with emotional control, reinforcing why he is considered one of the strongest contenders for the finale.
He also added that while he has always remained at the backfoot, so it is uncertain if he will get any shows after coming out of the Bigg Boss, but one thing is for certain is “his wife, his parents, his friends will have tremendous respect for him.” Salman concluded with saying, “He will be delighted to be working with, I myself will be working with him very soon.”
Salman’s words of appreciation came at a very crucial time for Gaurav as it is just a week from the grand finale.
