Gaurav Khanna, winner of Bigg Boss 19, addressed criticism regarding his victory, particularly claims that his win was due to his status as a 'Colors face' and prior fame. Khanna stated he joined the show when his career was already strong, viewing it as a learning experience to explore reality television after two decades in daily soaps. He emphasized his goal was personal growth rather than competing with fellow contestants, acknowledging that contestants often face criticism and attempts to undermine them.
