India, Dec. 9 -- It feels surreal", says Gaurav Khanna after winning Bigg Boss Season 19 on Sunday. "Wanted to prove to the world that you can win a show like Bigg Boss by keeping your integrity, by just being yourself and not abusing or crossing any line," says the 43-year-old actor, who was accused of putting a facade in the house. "I wanted to play the game fair and very clean... This show is a mind game; if you're not triggered, you won't react, and that worked in my favour", says Gaurav. Recalling the winning moment, he adds, "When Salman sir took my name, I was teary-eyed... For a few seconds I was dumbfounded, and then for him to say, 'He wants to work with me,' that was another achievement." The actor, who has been in show-business for more than two decades, says this feels like a second innings. "Anupamaa brought me back...Anuj gave me stability, MasterChef made me famous as 'GK', and now Bigg Boss has taken me to a different level altogether." He shares, "I truly believe nothing comes before its time." Gaurav agrees that he was hurt with (show's first runner-up) Farrhana Bhatt's TV remark, not because it targeted him, but because it disrespected the platform that shaped his career "There will be people who don't know you, and that's fine. What hurt was what she was saying it all about the platform." He concludes, "This has not been an easy win. Speaking about my wife Akanksha Chamola (actor) and having a child was a personal choice, not a strategy for the game. As a husband, I respect my wife's wishes in life. If every man thought this way, the world would be a slightly better place. Having said that, if I were cashing in on it, why would I wait until now? We have been married for more than nine years. I wanted to be real with the audience."...
