Gaurav Khanna on Farrhana Bhatt calling him 'underserving' Bigg Boss 19 winner
In a chat with us, actor Gaurav Khanna addressed comments made by second runner up Farrhana Bhatt, who had called him “undeserving.” Gaurav explained his perspective, stressinf that he never felt the need to respond during the show. "
Maine Farrhana ko show ke andar jawab nahi diya. Main aisa banda hi nahi hu ki main alfaazon main jawaab du. Mere actions— they speak more than my words aur main apna kaam karta raha aur mera kaam un 15 logon ko khush karna nahi tha, unke register main tick mark marna nahi tha ki mene kya kaam kiya—Jo janta bahar dekh rahi hai, 150 crore, unke dilon mein jagah banani thi. Aur ye show hi wo hai—chahe kuch karu na karu, jitne wale, haraane wale sab janta hai. Toh agar janta ne jitaya hai, unhone votes diye hai, main personally toh janta nahi hu kisiko."(Translation I didn’t respond to Farrhana during the show. I’m not the kind of person who answers with words. My actions speak louder than my words. I kept doing my work, and my goal was never to please those 15 people or get a checkmark in their register for what I did. The audience outside, the 150 crore viewers, that’s who I wanted to make a place in their hearts. And that’s what this show is—all wins and losses are decided by the audience. So if the audience chose me, they voted for me; personally, I don’t even know anyone there.)
Gaurav: Mujhe dhele bhar ka farak nahi padta
Gaurav further elaborated on his approach and his mindset toward competition, "
So, I think my actions spoke louder than my words and Farrhana ka apna thought process hai, mujhe use dhele bhar ka fark nahi padta. I really don't care. Main itne saal apni industry main isliye aise chalta raha kyuki, main sirf apne pe dhyaan deta hu, apne se compete karta hu. Baaki koi bhi aaye, all the best to them. Jab hum khade the top 2 main tab bhi mene haath utha ke all the best kaha tha pehle. So I feel ki sabki barabar chance milna chaiye aur usko lagta hai ki mene kuch nahi kia toh fir toh ye ho gaya ki bina kuch kare bhi wo haar gayi mujse, toh ye toh aur kharaab baat ho gayi uske liye—aisa nahi hai. I think usne bhi achcha khela aur mera bhi apna dhang tha khelne ka toh I think writing is on the wall, BB19 ka winner kaun hai sabko pata hi hai."

(I believe my actions spoke louder than my words. Farrhana has her own way of thinking, and I honestly don’t care about that. I have maintained my journey in this industry for so many years because I focus only on myself and compete with myself. Whoever else comes, I wish them all the best. Even when we were in the top 2, I raised my hand and wished her all the best first. I feel everyone deserves an equal chance, and if she thinks I didn’t do anything, then by that logic she lost to me without doing anything—which is even worse for her. That’s not the case. I think she played well, I had my own way of playing, and I think the results were clear—the winner of BB19 was evident to everyone.)
