Gaurav Khanna Still To Receive Prize Money For Bigg Boss 19

Gaurav Khanna, in his recent vlog, took on some questions from the fans and addressed them directly. When asked if he had received his Rs 50 lakh prize money, he replied, “Sach bolu toh thoda time lagta hai yeh sab aana. Frankly, abhi tak nahi miley hain. Lekin, I am sure mil jayenge because ek process hota hain (If I am being truthful, it takes time. I have not received it yet. But I am sure I will get it because there is a process),” Khanna said.

He explained the reason behind the wait. Saying, “I think 1–2 mahine toh lagte hain yeh saari cheeze aane mein because company ki apni internal audits hoti hain. Aa jayega, aisa nahi hain ki nahi aayega. Thoda delay hota hain, which is fine. TV ka banda hoon, and TV mein thode delays hote hain. Aa jayega (It takes about 1-2 months for all the things to arrive because there are internal audits based on the company. I am from TV, and there are delays here. It will come).”

Gaurav won fans with his calm style inside the house. He skipped loud fights and feuds. This dignified approach under camera scrutiny boosted his votes. Salman Khan praised it during Weekend Ka Vaar episodes. The host noted Khanna’s balanced handling of disagreements.

Gaurav Khanna Reveals How Bigg Boss Changed His Life

Apart from the prize, he spoke about how the show changed everyday life. “For an actor, it feels really special when people know you by your real name,” he said. “Bigg Boss has affected my life more on a personal level than in terms of my career. It’s still too early to say how it might change my work in the future.”

The Bigg Boss 19 winner added, “Earlier, people mostly recognised me by the characters I played, like Abir, Sharman, Kavin, or Anuj Kapadia, and they would call me by those names. But now things have changed. Wherever I go, even when we were travelling in Dubai, people were calling out ‘GK, GK, Gaurav.’ For an actor, it feels really special when people know you by your real name after so many years of playing different roles.”

Gaurav Khanna On His Anupamaa Return

Another topic in the vlog was his possible return as Anuj Kapadia in Anupamaa, led by Rupali Ganguly. Gaurav’s character became one of his most loved roles. Fans keep asking if he’ll return. Responding to speculation, Gaurav said the decision isn’t his alone. He shared, “You are asking the wrong person because coming back to Anupamaa is not in my hands. It depends on our producer Rajan Shahi and the channel Star Plus. If the story has something interesting for me, I would definitely like to return. But if the track is not exciting, then I wouldn’t want to come back.”

Gaurav Khanna’s Bigg Boss 19 triumph over Farrhana Bhatt marked a personal milestone. His candid vlog covered prize delays, newfound fame by his real name, and Anupamaa prospects. Despite waits and uncertainties, Khanna stays optimistic about his prizes and career path ahead. Fans admire his grounded outlook post-victory.
