In a touching homecoming, Bigg Boss 19 champion Gaurav Khanna landed in Kanpur, his birthplace, prioritizing family ties over post-show buzz. The actor, still shadowed by Tanya Mittal’s claims of derogatory comments about her mother, wasted no time in paying respects at Parmat temple upon arrival.
Brushing off questions about the feud, Gaurav declared the chapter closed with the show’s end. Speaking exclusively, he poured love for his origins: ‘Kanpur holds a special place in my heart. Roots anchor us to reality—they’re irreplaceable. This city shaped who I am.’
Recounting his reality TV stint, Gaurav revealed, ‘Bigg Boss strips away facades, showcasing your real personality. I transitioned from on-screen roles to personal fame, recognized globally. Fans calling me JK overseas filled me with joy.’
Turning to local growth, he commended infrastructure upgrades. ‘Kanpur’s evolving fast—everyone sees it. Imagine a film city here; I’d jump at the chance to shoot locally.’ Addressing the younger generation, Gaurav motivated, ‘Gen Z forms India’s backbone. Embrace your role in nation-building. It’s thrilling to be part of this progressive India.’
Gaurav hailed PM Modi’s administration for spurring Kanpur’s development. ‘He’s an exceptional leader driving the country ahead,’ he said. This visit not only reignites his bond with Kanpur but also inspires fans on staying true to one’s beginnings.
