Bigg Boss 19 Winner Gaurav Khanna: From Anupamaa to Reality Show Stardom
Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna has become the talk of the town after lifting the trophy in December 2025. Known for his powerful portrayal of Anuj Kapadia in Anupamaa (2021–2024), Khanna has now cemented his place as one of television’s most versatile stars.
But with fame comes criticism. Soon after his win, social media buzzed with allegations that the show was “fixed.” Trolls flooded timelines, questioning whether his victory was predetermined. Khanna, however, responded with calm confidence.
Gaurav Khanna on Trolls: “I Like Them”
Reacting to the “fixed winner” chatter, Khanna said:
“I like trolls kyunki kahin na kahin woh meri hi baat kar rahe hain. I don’t think I need to answer them. I am not God’s gift to mankind that every person needs to like me.”
His statement reflects a grounded attitude. Instead of lashing out, he acknowledged that trolls keep him relevant. For Khanna, criticism is just another form of attention.
His Journey: From Anupamaa to Bigg Boss
Khanna first gained widespread recognition as Anuj Kapadia in Anupamaa, a role that made him a household name. His chemistry with Rupali Ganguly’s character Anupamaa was celebrated, and he remained part of the show until 2024.
In 2025, Khanna surprised fans by entering the world of reality television. His first appearance was in the inaugural season of Celebrity MasterChef India, where he emerged as the winner. That victory showcased his versatility beyond acting—proving he could shine in competitive formats too.
Bigg Boss 19 was his second reality show, and winning it has now elevated him to a new level of stardom. He was one of the highest paid contestants with his total earnings, including his fee and the prize money, sum up to approximately Rs 3 crore.
Bigg Boss 19 Finale: A Star-Studded Night
The finale of Bigg Boss 19 was one of the most-watched events of the year. Khanna’s journey inside the house was marked by:
- Strong friendships and alliances.
- Emotional breakdowns that showed his vulnerable side.
- Strategic gameplay that kept him in the spotlight.
Fans voted in huge numbers, and his win was celebrated by many. Yet, the “fixed” allegations quickly followed, a recurring theme in Bigg Boss history.
The “Fixed Winner” Debate
Every season of Bigg Boss faces accusations of bias. Critics argue that popular TV actors often have an advantage. Khanna’s win reignited this debate.
However, industry insiders point out that:
- His fan base from Anupamaa gave him a natural edge.
