Gaurav Khanna, a familiar face on Indian television, continues to surprise fans beyond his iconic roles. Best known for playing Anuj Kapadia in Anupamaa, Gaurav recently showcased a new side of himself on Celebrity MasterChef. His impressive performance in the kitchen not only earned him the title but also proved that his talent goes far beyond acting. Off-screen, his personality appears just as charming as his on-screen presence.
In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Gaurav opened up about something fans have often speculated, his association with reality shows. When asked if the buzz around him being approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi was true, Gaurav confirmed it without hesitation. When probed further about whether he had accepted the offer, he simply smiled and moved on, skipping the question entirely, leaving his fans to wonder.
The conversation shifted toward another popular reality show, Bigg Boss. Known for its intense drama and emotional outbursts, it’s a space many actors tread carefully around. When asked if he had refused the show due to fear of drama, Gaurav had a humorous take. “Money was less,” he said, before quickly clarifying that he was only joking. He then admitted that he had been approached for Bigg Boss before. In his words, “I have been in television for so long. Everybody in the industry has been approached, some time or the other. I have not done it till now.”
Gaurav shared that he had turned down the offer when it first came his way. Whether he would ever consider participating in the future remains uncertain. When asked if he’d say yes now, he responded that he “doesn’t know” and left it at that. His ambiguity has certainly kept fans curious.
Over the years, Gaurav Khanna has carved out a space for himself in the entertainment world through consistent work and a humble attitude.
Whether he decides to enter the Bigg Boss house or not, one thing is clear, Gaurav Khanna is in no rush. With a successful television career, a reality show win under his belt, and the audience’s love, he continues to move at his own pace. His story isn’t about making loud statements, it’s about letting actions speak, whether on a set, in a kitchen, or in a candid interview.
