Gaurav Khanna’s wife Akanksha has already made a powerful impact in the Bigg Boss 19 house. After her warm entry and emotional reunion with Gaurav, the latest episode showcases an intense and candid conversation between the two—one that fans are calling one of the most honest reality checks given by a family member this season.
Akanksha, unlike many visiting family members who tend to sugarcoat, chose to be straightforward and strategic. She began by telling Gaurav to play for himself now, urging him to become “a little selfish” and stop playing safe. While she acknowledged that he has been performing well, she emphasized that he needs to be more assertive, strong, and competitive.
One of the biggest revelations came when she told him plainly that his two strongest competitors inside the house are Amaal Mallik and Farrhana Bhatt. She also informed him that many housemates have been bitching about him behind his back, something Gaurav admitted he was aware of. Akanksha reminded him that he shouldn’t worry, because he has massive support outside, far more than he realizes.
In a pointed piece of advice, Akanksha told Gaurav to stay away from Farrhana, calling the interaction unnecessary and “not worth it,” hinting that it might harm his game.
To boost his morale, she reiterated that his strong fan support already places him in a winning position. But her final message was the one that struck the deepest chord. She told him:
“Be good, be yourself. I’m not telling you to change, just be more open. Play properly on the front foot without worrying about hurting anyone. No one here is thinking like you, no one is following ethics and morals the way you are. So go all in.”
Akanksha’s powerful pep talk appears to have refocused Gaurav’s mindset entirely. Her words could potentially shift his game trajectory in the coming weeks, setting the stage for a sharper, more confident version of him inside the Bigg Boss 19 house.
