The heat is on as Bigg Boss 19 enters its final phase, and the recent press conference inside the house turned out to be one of the most emotional events of the season. Among the contestants facing tough questions from the media was popular television actor Gaurav Khanna, who found himself addressing one of the most personal aspects of his life — his and his wife Akanksha Chamola’s differing views on having children.
Known for his calm and thoughtful personality, Gaurav handled the sensitive topic with remarkable sincerity. When asked about his wish to become a father while Akanksha has expressed she isn’t ready for motherhood, Gaurav paused, visibly emotional, before responding.
He said, “This is a very personal and touchy topic for us. Yes, I do want to have a child someday, but I respect my wife’s feelings and her decision. Marriage is about understanding and supporting each other, and I will always stand by her.”
His honest confession earned him appreciation from the media present inside the house and viewers watching the live feed. Many fans took to social media to praise Gaurav for prioritizing respect and consent in his marriage.
Addressing Allegations of Playing ‘Too Safe’ in Bigg Boss 19
The press conference also brought up another recurring criticism Gaurav has faced during his 14-week journey — accusations of playing it safe and maintaining his Anupamaa character image of Anuj Kapadia.
Responding firmly, Gaurav said,
“I’m not here acting as any character. This is who I am. I respond to situations based on my understanding. Not every argument or drama deserves a reaction. I’ve been in this industry for 20 years, and I know when to speak and when to stay silent.”
His composed explanation reinforced what his supporters have believed all along — that Gaurav’s calmness is not strategy but his natural demeanor.
A Defining Moment Ahead of the Finale
With the grand finale approaching, Gaurav’s heartfelt answers have added emotional depth to his journey. Instead of relying on theatrics or confrontation, he has consistently chosen maturity, making him one of the most grounded contestants of the season.
The press conference not only revealed Gaurav’s vulnerability but also highlighted his unwavering respect for his wife’s choices — a quality fans admire. As Bigg Boss 19 heads toward its conclusion, moments like these are shaping how viewers perceive contestants beyond the game.
