The popular reality show Bigg Boss 19 has been making headlines, and recent discussions have centered around contestant Gaurav Khanna's performance in tasks. While Hunar Hali was initially rumored to be a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, she opted out due to personal reasons. However, she has been following the show and recently shared her perspective on Gaurav Khanna's gameplay.

Hunar Hali, known for her roles in television dramas such as Chhal — Sheh Aur Maat and Thapki Pyaar Ki, was considered a potential contestant for Bigg Boss 19. However, she confirmed that she would not be participating this year, citing personal matters that required her attention. Specifically, Hali is reportedly beginning divorce proceedings with her estranged husband, actor Mayank Gandhi. She stated that it wasn't the right time for her to enter the Bigg Boss house, adding, "My life also has something like Bigg Boss going on".

Despite not being a contestant, Hunar Hali has been keeping up with Bigg Boss 19 and recently shared her views on the contestants, including Gaurav Khanna. In an interview with TellyMasala, Hali spoke about various contestants and their strategies. While the specific details of her comments regarding Gaurav Khanna are not available in the provided search results, the title of the article suggests she expressed uncertainty about his contributions to the tasks within the Bigg Boss house.

Meanwhile, Gaurav Khanna, an actor known for his roles in Anupamaa, CID, and Celebrity MasterChef India, is indeed a contestant on Bigg Boss 19. However, he has faced criticism from both viewers and fellow housemates regarding his performance in tasks.

In the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode, host Salman Khan confronted Gaurav Khanna about his passive gameplay. Salman criticized Gaurav for being barely visible and "overrated," suggesting that he spends more time critiquing others than actively participating in tasks. Housemates like Mridul, Baseer, and Neelam echoed Salman's sentiments, questioning Gaurav's contributions and noting his selective engagement. Salman Khan pointed out that Gaurav was visible for hardly 20 minutes throughout the entire week's footage. Salman went on to deliver one of the harshest remarks of the season yet, calling Gaurav "overrated". The superstar emphasized that for an actor, being labeled overrated is perhaps the worst thing possible, hinting that Gaurav's presence in the house has failed to live up to expectations.

Gaurav's performance in a recent ration task was also a point of discussion. While he seemingly lost the task, some viewers felt he won hearts by showcasing his cooking skills and knowledge of ingredients. However, Farhana, who was initially perceived as an ally, voted against Gaurav, leading him to realize that she might not be trustworthy.

It remains to be seen how Gaurav Khanna will respond to the criticisms and adjust his game strategy in the coming episodes. Bigg Boss 19, which premiered on August 24, 2025, on JioHotstar and Colors TV, promises more drama and surprises as the contestants compete for the coveted title. The show is hosted by Salman Khan and features a theme called "Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar".
