Bigg Boss 19 is all about drama, fights, and strategies, but Gaurav Khanna has managed to keep his calm inside the house. Unlike other contestants who prefer arguments and aggression to grab attention, Gaurav has chosen a quieter path. While this has made him stand out, it has also raised questions about whether his style suits the high-energy game. Even host Salman Khan questioned his gameplay during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Amid the criticism, Gaurav’s sister Priya Mehrotra spoke up for him with a heartfelt note on social media. She praised her brother for staying dignified in the game and reminded fans that calmness is also a form of strength.
Sister’s Strong Support
In her message on Instagram, Priya wrote, “The criticism Gaurav has faced about his character and play style is unfair and unpleasant. Just because he chooses not to shout, argue, or be aggressive doesn’t mean he lacks strength.”
“Real strength lies in calmness. Sending you full support, brother! Remember, insecure people always try to pull down those who shine brighter.? #GauravKhanna #BB19,” the post also added.
Her words gave a fresh perspective on his gameplay, shifting the focus from aggression to patience and self-control. For Priya, Gaurav’s restraint is not weakness but proof of maturity in a house that constantly pushes contestants to lose their temper.
Salman’s Tough Remarks
However, Salman Khan was not convinced during Weekend Ka Vaar. He pulled up Gaurav for staying on the sidelines and not being active enough in tasks.
“Aapka hafta mimicry aur dance mein hi gaya hai itna zyada ki aapka dhyaan ghar ke important muddon par nahi tha, Farrhana ke performances dekhte rahe. Fans might think your footage is getting cut, but how do we tell them that you’re only not making it to the cut?” Salman told him.
The host went further, breaking down Gaurav’s limited screen time compared to the format’s expectations. He explained, “Is ghar mein survive karne ke liye magic mantra chahiye, aur aap iss week kuch zabaradast sawalon ke answers dhundhne nikal pade… Main aapko batata hoon—400 minutes mein aap sirf 20 minutes nazar aaye ho.”
Calmness Versus Aggression
While Salman questioned his strategy, Priya’s words framed Gaurav’s composure as a deliberate choice rather than a flaw.
This contrast has left fans wondering whether Gaurav will continue playing calmly or switch gears to stay in the spotlight. Either way, his journey has now become a talking point both inside and outside the house.
