‘Anupamaa’ star Gaurav Khanna was just crowned the winner of ‘Bigg Boss’ season 19, and his victory came with its fair share of controversies.

Gaurav Khanna opens up about Farrhana Bhatt’s comment in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Khanna, 43, talked about some of the moments that happened during his time in the house, which affected him to the core.
Talking about fellow contestant Farrhana Bhatt, he revealed that while not much had an effect on him in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house, there was a comment from the runner-up of the show that affected him the most. He revealed that the fellow actress had raised a finger at his career and his fans, which he couldn't stand.
“When she questioned my TV audience, my fans, I lost it. Kyuki show mein mein aaya hu, mere fans nahi aaye hain. Aap unko kadghare mein kharaa nahi kar sakte. Aap mere profession ko kadghare mein kharaa nahi kar sakte (Since I have come for the show, not my fans, you cannot put them on the stand, you cannot put my career on the stand)," the actor shared.
Gaurav Khanna says personal attacks did not bother him much
He further shared details about the matter and said that as long as the comments remained focused on him, they did not matter to him. As soon as the comments shifted to his fans and his career, he ended up losing his cool.
The actor said, “Jab tak woh mere personal attacks kar rahi thi, personal gaaliyaan de rahi thi, aurat bol rahi thi, beghairat bol rahi thi, galeez aadmi bol rahi thi, mujhe koi farak nahi padta tha because I can take all this (As long as she was attacking me personally, calling me a woman, shameless, disgusting man, etc., I did not care because I can take all this)."
Earlier this year, the ‘Kumkum – Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan’ actor also took home the title and trophy at the ‘Celebrity MasterChef India’ competition.
