As Bigg Boss 19 enters its final, fiery stretch, tensions inside the house have reached a boiling point. With the finale just days away, contestants are no longer holding back, and this Weekend Ka Vaar
proved exactly that. Gaurav Khanna, who has sailed through most of the season with composure and strategy, found himself at the centre of criticism from two unexpected corners: his close friend Pranit More and fellow contestant Malti Chahar.
Pranit, Malti target Gaurav Khanna
In a task conducted by Madhuri Dixit, Pranit took direct aim at Gaurav, calling him
“bossy” and accusing him of not being a team player. The statement shocked many, considering the duo’s strong bond throughout the show. But Pranit didn’t hesitate, firmly stating that Gaurav often takes charge in a way that feels overbearing and selective.
If that blow wasn’t enough, another one followed soon after. During Ashish Chanchlani’s fun-yet-revealing “bhoot utarna” task, in which contestants had to blow ash on another housemate while calling out a negative trait, Malti chose Gaurav and labelled him
“calculative.” She justified her choice by saying that Gaurav often plays situations with a strategic lens, something she feels impacts relationships inside the house.
Salman Khan praises GK
But while the housemates questioned Gaurav’s intentions, Salman Khan had a completely different take during yesterday's episode.During Weekend Ka Vaar, as contestants voiced their grievances and labelled Gaurav “dual-faced” or “too strategic,” Salman stepped in, defending the actor’s calm and composed gameplay. He said, “Hats off to Gaurav Khanna if this is your game, because patience is almost impossible in this house!”Salman further added that whether this was Gaurav’s real character or a part of his strategy, it was worthy of admiration. He continued, saying that if Gaurav maintained this approach in life, his family, wife, and fans would be extremely proud of him. Salman also highlighted that working with such grace and control would bring Gaurav many projects in the future. In a surprising and heartwarming moment, Salman concluded by saying he himself would work with Gaurav very soon.As Bigg Boss 19 gears up for its grand finale week, the dynamics have shifted dramatically. Gaurav finds himself both targeted and celebrated, criticised inside the house but praised by the host. With the trophy within arm’s reach, the final lap has officially begun, and every move now counts more than ever.
