Bigg Boss 19: Gaurav Khanna opens up about highs, lows, and the acting grind: I’ve seen everything in life'
Gaurav Khanna, who is one of the popular actors of television and is also rumoured to be the highest paid contestant of Bigg Boss 19, recently opened up about his life. During a candid daytime conversation with Mridul, Gaurav reflected on his journey, sharing insights into both his personal and professional life.
He began by recounting his family background, saying his family once ran a huge shoe factory and he grew up in a joint family. “I’ve seen everything in life from highs to lows,” he shared, recalling the extremes: “In 2000, we literally had every car in the house — 11 cars in total. But by 2002, when everyone retired, there was nothing left. I knew I had to do more. ”
Gaurav revealed how these experiences shaped his perspective. “Even today, when I step into a shoe shop, I still think about prices. I’ll check multiple shops before deciding,” he explained, emphasizing how early lessons in responsibility and prudence stayed with him.
Shifting to his career, he reflected on the harsh realities of the acting industry. “ Acting is an industry where you can become famous overnight if a show works. If you’re good, more opportunities come your way. But if you’re not, then all you’ll ever talk about is that one successful show in your life, ” he said, highlighting the fickleness and competitiveness of showbiz.
Through his words, Gaurav offered a glimpse into the perseverance, awareness, and resilience that have defined his journey — from family highs and lows to navigating the unforgiving entertainment industry.
