Bigg Boss 19: Gaurav Khanna opens up about his journey and life lessons in Mumbai; says 'I built everything here from scratch'

Bigg Boss 19 contestant Gaurav Khanna is being loved by the audience for his behaviour and conduct on the controversial reality show. The Anupamaa actor stays away from unnecessary fights and speaks only when his voice needs to be heard.

He has formed a strong bond on the show with Mridul Tiwari and is slowly getting used to the rhythm of the show. During a recent conversation the actor was seen talking about his personal life and shared some unknown facts about himself. In a candid conversation in the Bigg Boss 19 house with Mridul, Gaurav opened up about his life philosophy, personal struggles, and the patience that has shaped his journey. He shared, “My motto in life is that someone should tell my parents or my partner that I’m doing a good job. Because if someone tells them I’m doing bad work — even if I’m earning money — what’s the point?”Reflecting on his experiences in Mumbai, Gaurav said, “I built everything here from scratch.

I’ve been a victim of a lot of fraud and cheating with money, but I stood my ground and made a life here. It’s an expensive city, but it teaches you resilience.” He added that the chaos inside the house reminds him of the larger struggle everyone faces in life — “Ladai-jhagda, neecha dikhana, cheekhna-chillana — yeh sab kya hai? We’re all strugglers.

Whether someone is new, has done some work, or has done a lot — everyone is fighting their own battles.”

He concluded by recalling how people from his previous show often told him he had immense patience. “I always said that you just wait for the right moment — that’s what patience truly means,” Gaurav said, highlighting his belief in perseverance and timing.
