Salman Khan questions Gaurav Khanna’s game
On September 20, 2025, a promo from Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar was released on X, in which Salman Khan returned after his absence last weekend. In the promo, the Sultan actor asked contestant, Farhana Bhatt to mimic all her co-contestant. When she was done, Salman asked Gaurav to review her performance. In response, the actor appreciated her and before he could complete, Salman Khan told him that he is only reviewing other contestants and not playing the game. In the promo, Salman said:
“Gaurav aap front foot pe khelne se ghabra rahe hai. Aap sirf 20 minutes dikhe hai pure hafte. Palak jhapke aur aap chale gaye. Every actor should be afraid of the word overrated.”
Apart from Salman Khan questioning Gaurav Khanna’s game, a source from the industry reviewed his game and told Filmibeat that Gaurav is a star and viewers are watching the show because of him. The source revealed that Gaurav will definitely reach Top 5, but his chances of winning depends on his game. The source was quoted as saying:
“He is a star in his own right, and viewers are watching the show because of him. He will definitely reach top 5 in the Bigg Boss 19 finale, however, his chances of winning the show will be diminished if he doesn’t pull his socks. He needs to perform better to win the show. The makers have dropped a hint to him, but it will depend on Gaurav how he takes things forward. If he doesn’t pick up pace, he can say goodbye to the trophy.”
