For Gaurav, the win symbolised collective love and support. “Jitne mere real chahne wale hai, ye sab unki jeet hai, ye Mridul ki jeet hai,” he said. Sharing a deeply personal moment, he recalled taking Mridul and Pranit along when he visited Siddhivinayak Temple after his win. “Isiliye jab main Siddhivinayak gaya, main usko bhi apne saath leke gaya. Hum mil ke matha tekenge. Pranit ko bhi leke gaya kyuki yahi mere close dost the.”

Gaurav emphasised that these friendships were formed naturally and not for the show. “Na maine show ke liye dost banaye, ye organically hum dost bane,” he said, adding that their differences made the bond even more special. “Humari umar alag, hum jahan rehte hai wo alag, humare professions alag.” While many friendships within the house were formed among people with similar professions or groups, Gaurav believes his bond stood out for its authenticity.

When Pranit invited him to a show, Gaurav promised to come, and he kept that promise. “Toh wo mauka mil gaya,” he said.
