Television actor Gaurav Khanna was declared the winner of Bigg Boss 19, which came to an end on December 7. While supporters celebrated their favorite`s victory, a few of his competitors asserted that he was able to win because of his reputation and lineage. Because he is Colors TV`s face, some even thought he had won. But Gaurav has now responded to these allegations.

Gaurav Khanna reacts to the recent controversy

In a chat with Faridoon, Gaurav Khanna reacted to the allegations of being Colors face and winning Bigg Boss 19. He said, "People say I won because I am famous, but I have really worked hard. Twenty years of hard work is no mean feat. I have not been a Colors face for the last 15 years. My last show on Colors TV was Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam with Yami Gautam, which aired in 2010. So, if in 2025 people still think I am a Colors face after doing just one show with them 15 years ago, I must be really great then. There are no free lunches; I won’t just win a show because of my pedigree or body of work, I also have to perform well in it."
