Gaurav Khanna is the winner of Bigg Boss 19. Yes, finally we have the winner of biggest TV reality show and it’s none other than Gaurav Khanna who declared as winner by Salman Khan and Farrhana Bhatt become runner-up of this show. Not too long ago, the television actor had walked away with the trophy of another interesting cooking game show Celebrity MasterChef India Season 1 and now yet again, the contestant has emerged victorious despite the tough competition with Farrhana Bhatt. The season, which premiered on August 24 with 18 contestants, delivered its signature blend of high-voltage drama, heated confrontations, alliances, and emotional moments. Over three months, the house witnessed friendships, rivalries, and intense competitions that kept audiences engaged.
The highly anticipated night saw five finalists Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana Bhatt, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal and Amaal Mallik battle it out for the coveted title of Bigg Boss 19 Winner. Hosted by Bollywood actor Salman Khan, the grand finale kicked off with electrifying performances and nostalgic moments. To make this event extra special for all the viewers makers several Bollywood celebrities such as Madhuri Dixit, Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Panday and Pawan Singh grace the show. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as the finalists geared up for the final showdown. The finalists’ families, friends, and former housemates were present to witness the nail-biting finale, adding an emotional touch. Gaurav also had an extra reason to celebrate. In the final Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan praised his balanced nature and revealed that he would soon be collaborating with him. Salman said, “His personality will be greatly appreciated. More than that, his family, friends and wife will have tremendous respect for him. He will be a delight to work with. I myself will be working with Gaurav very soon.”
Gaurav’s journey in the house wasn’t the loudest or the most dramatic, but it remained steady throughout the season. He maintained a low profile during the early weeks, choosing not to involve himself in unnecessary conflicts. This initially led many to underestimate him. However, as the show progressed, his thoughtful approach, composed reactions and fair gameplay started gaining appreciation. In the final month, he opened up more, expressed his views with clarity and performed strongly in tasks, demonstrating that impact does not always require aggression. His journey highlighted that dignity and patience can stand out just as much as high-voltage drama.
Throughout the show, Gaurav stood out for his calm nature, often playing the role of a mediator during intense discussions and maintaining his values even when faced with pressure. His personality was seen as cool and mature by the audience most of the time, while people still doubted his decisions and back-foot strategies. The touching family week moment with his wife, Akanksha Chamola, his bond with Mridul Tiwari, Abhishek Bajaj, Pranit More, and Ashnoor Kaur, and his refusal to join in below-the-belt drama were well-liked by his fans. He was one of the season’s most popular contestants and was appreciated by the people as the one who brought “much-needed stability” to a most chaotic house.

Inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, Gaurav Khanna was often told he was ‘playing on the backfoot.’ He wasn’t loud, he didn’t jump into every fight, and he didn’t chase camera time. What seemed like a weakness inside the house slowly became the very reason viewers rooted for him and ultimately, it’s what made him the winner of Bigg Boss 19. Gaurav kept things simple observe, choose your moment, and speak only when needed. His calm, consistent gameplay impressed audiences, eventually winning him the Ticket to Finale. From Week 1, Gaurav avoided unnecessary chaos. He stayed away from screaming matches but defended himself logically when needed like when Tanya accused him during the Ration Task, and he calmly dismantled her claims. His maturity and self-awareness earned him praise from host Salman Khan, who said, “If this is his personality, I’d praise it. And if this is his game, hats off.” This support boosted his confidence heading into finale week. Though usually calm, Gaurav had powerful confrontations: Calling out Tanya and Farrhana for ignoring chores during his captaincy, A strong debate with Amaal Mallik on nepotism, His emotional breakdown during the press conference when asked about his personal life Even his “Main TV ka superstar hoon” moment went viral when Farrhana dismissed his career. He stayed consistent, kept dignity in fights, chose real friendships, and knew when to speak. The house noticed him late but viewers noticed him early.

Gaurav Khanna on being called a ‘fixed winner’, He says, “I would simply say, Jai Shri Ram and hope that everyone continues to share kindness the same way. If someone believes I am a fixed winner, they are more than welcome to give their opinions. I know I’ve put in my full effort, and I usually don’t bother responding to anyone’s comments. I’m not sure whether you have noticed, (I like Trolls kyunki kahin na kahin woh meri hi baat kar rahe hain) but I don’t mind trolls either. At least they are talking about me. If there’s no criticism, there’s no recognition, so I’m absolutely okay with it.”
Also said Bigg Boss didn’t just challenge me, it reshaped my mind. In a 15-week battle of patience and focus, I stood tall because true victory belongs to the one who controls their mind. They pulled me down and doubted my work, but I stayed steady and focused because Bigg Boss is a mind game, and the one who stays in control is the one who wins.”
Durgesh Tiwary’s View: The one and only reason to watch Big Boss is Salman Khan for me. I will continue to watch this show till he will continue to be host of this reality show. I was expecting Gaurav Khanna to win this show since is famous TV star and he won it. Very surprised to see the progress of Farrhana Bhatt as I never thought he will be even in Top 5 but become a runner up despite famous celebrities means set to get multiple offers from producers in future for music album and daily soaps.
My personal 4 fav from this show were:
1. Gaurav Khanna
2. Ashnoor Kaur
3. Abhishek Bajaj and
4. Amaal Mallik
Winner winner, GK- The Game-Changer!
