Television actor Gaurav Khanna recently revealed that he is still waiting to receive the Rs 50 lakh prize money promised after winning Bigg Boss 19. The actor opened up about the delay while interacting with fans in a vlog, clarifying that although the payment has not arrived yet, he is confident it will be processed soon.
Gaurav emerged as the winner of the reality show after spending more than three months inside the house. The season concluded with a grand finale where host Salman Khan announced him as the champion. In the final round, he defeated contestants Farrhana Bhatt, Tanya Mittal, Pranit More and Amaal Mallik to take home the trophy.
Gaurav Khanna reveals he didn't receive his prize money and other rewards yet
During his recent vlog, a fan asked whether he had received all the rewards promised on the show, including the cash prize and other benefits. Responding honestly, the actor admitted that the money has not yet reached him.
He said, “Vaise sach bolu toh thoda time lagta hain ye sab aana. Frankly, abhi tak nahi miley hain. Lekin, I am sure mil jayenge because ek process hota hain.”
Explaining the reason behind the delay, Gaurav shared that prize payments often take some time due to internal procedures followed by production companies. According to him, such delays are normal and nothing unusual.
“I think 1-2 mahiney toh lagte hain ye saari cheezein aanein mein because company ki apni internal audits hoti hain. Aa jayega, aisa nahi hain ki nahi aayega. Thoda delay hota hain, which is fine,” he added.
Despite the wait for the prize money, Gaurav said the biggest reward for him has been the overwhelming love he has received from fans after winning the show. Since the finale, the actor has noticed a major shift in how people recognise him in public.
He shared that viewers now often call him by his real name rather than the characters he played on television. The actor also revealed that many admirers regularly visit his home in Kanpur just to meet him and congratulate him on his victory.
All about the stint
According to Gaurav, around 50 to 60 people come to see him every day, sometimes even at odd hours. While the sudden attention can be surprising, he says he appreciates the support and makes an effort to meet fans whenever possible.
The actor’s win marked a significant moment in his career, especially because he managed to secure the title while largely avoiding major controversies or heated fights inside the house. His calm approach and dignified gameplay earned praise from viewers throughout the season.
For now, Gaurav remains optimistic that the promised rewards from the show will arrive soon while continuing to enjoy the appreciation and recognition that followed his victory.
