When Gaurav told Farrhana Bhatt ‘tu hi taali bajayegi…’
During one of the episodes, Gaurav Khanna and Farrhana Bhatt had got into a heated argument with Khanna – now the Bigg Boss 19 winner – telling Farrhana that she would be the one to cheer for him when he wins the trophy.
And that's exactly what happened on Sunday. Netizens have been hailing the moment – with Gaurav's reply – “Dekhna tu hi taali bajayegi mere liye…" now all over social media.
In a video posted on Instagram, Gaurav Khanna had described himself as a “simple boy from Kanpur came to Bombay with no godfather, no backing, no shortcuts just a dream he believed in more than anything.” He said every step he has taken in the industry has been his own – “built on hustle, sacrifice and a silent resilience that only a few truly understand”.
What did early voting trends show?
