The Bigg Boss 19 press conference continued to heat up as Gaurav faced yet another wave of criticism from the media. This time, the scrutiny intensified when a journalist openly questioned the legitimacy of his journey on the show, claiming that Gaurav’s overall contribution has been far too minimal for him to portray himself as a strong contender for the trophy.
The moment escalated when the media personnel drew a direct comparison between Gaurav and former Bigg Boss winner MC Stan — a figure often discussed for his unconventional journey and relatively silent gameplay. The journalist remarked that if Gaurav were to win Bigg Boss 19 with such limited involvement in tasks, discussions, or major house dynamics, he too would be remembered in the same vein as MC Stan.
The comparison was triggered after Gaurav hinted that his contribution inside the house doesn’t concern him. During the press session, he strongly emphasized that the only thing that matters to him is winning the show, regardless of audience perception or housemate feedback. This remark prompted the journalist to challenge him, pointing out that a victory without significant contribution would place him in the same controversial category as Stan — a remark that drew mixed reactions from both the media panel and fellow contestants.
While some reporters nodded in agreement, others felt the comparison was harsh. Gaurav, however, maintained an unfazed expression, sticking firmly to his belief that the final outcome is the only measure that truly matters.
With the finale approaching, the debate over “deservingness” versus “popularity” has become more intense than ever — and Gaurav now finds himself at the center of one of the season’s most polarizing discussions.
