In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Rohit Shetty grilled Gaurav over his perceived dominance in the house, particularly concerning fellow contestant Mridul. Rohit brought up the fact that Gaurav had previously advised Abhishek and Ashnoor to stay away from each other, citing that the former seemed to be dominating the latter. He asked Gaurav if he had ever considered applying the same principle to his interactions with Mridul.
Gaurav defended himself, stating that he had never given any unsolicited advice to Mridul. He explained that during Mridul’s week as captain, he had intentionally maintained distance. Gaurav revealed that Mridul himself had requested that he stay away so that housemates would not perceive Gaurav as hijacking his captaincy.
The conversation highlighted the careful balancing act contestants perform between strategy and perception in the Bigg Boss house. Gaurav’s defense pointed to his intent to respect Mridul’s authority while clarifying that his previous interventions with Abhishek and Ashnoor were situational rather than a pattern of dominance.
This exchange further emphasized how every interaction in the house is scrutinized, with the host playing a key role in holding contestants accountable for both their actions and the impressions they create on their fellow housemates and the audience.
