Television actor Gaurav Khanna, who shot to further fame with his memorable stint on Bigg Boss 19, has revealed that he has not yet received the car prize that was promised to him during the show’s finale. Nearly a month after Bigg Boss 19 concluded, Gaurav used his vlog to remind the show’s makers that the reward is still pending, prompting discussion among fans and industry watchers about post-show commitments and prize fulfilment.
Gaurav had a strong run on Bigg Boss 19, known for his composed demeanour, strategic play and consistent screen presence. His performance earned him the title of Face of Colors, and along the way he won various tasks, including one that awarded a car as a prize toward the end of the season. Typically, reality TV shows like Bigg Boss promise material rewards, such as vehicles or cash, alongside the grand prize to add excitement and competition among contestants.
In his video, Gaurav spoke directly to his audience and the production team, clarifying that although the show wrapped up weeks ago, the car he was declared the winner of has not yet been handed over. In a mostly light-hearted but pointed message, he said that he knew things can take time after the show, but he felt it was the right moment to raise the reminder because fans and followers kept asking about it.
“I haven’t received it yet,” Gaurav said, referring to the car. He noted that he believes the organisers and Bigg Boss makers will fulfil their commitment, and that he knows these processes involve paperwork and formalities. By putting out the reminder in his vlog, he aimed to bring some public attention to the delay while keeping the tone respectful. He expressed confidence that the team will follow through, but his candid update also reflected his desire for clarity and closure on the matter.
Gaurav’s vlog update generated a wave of reactions online. Fans of the actor expressed support and shared their amusement at how humble he was about reminding the show’s makers. Many applauded his straightforward approach, saying it was refreshing to see a contestant speak about such issues candidly rather than letting speculation build unchecked. Several viewers noted that Bigg Boss often sees winners and task champions receive material prizes, and delays are not uncommon given the volume of rewards and logistics involved when a season ends.
Some commentators took the opportunity to discuss how reality television often fulfils its promises weeks or even months after the finale due to verification requirements, paperwork and corporate processes. In some previous seasons, winners of vehicles or other assets have had to complete registration procedures, taxation details and delivery scheduling before taking possession, which can naturally extend beyond the broadcast timeline.
Others pointed out that Gaurav’s update also highlights a broader expectation among fans that prizes should be delivered without undue delay. In an era where social media conversations travel fast, contestants are increasingly held accountable in public and in turn can raise issues directly with audiences rather than solely through producers and network channels.
At the time of writing, the Bigg Boss 19 team had not made an official statement about the status of the car prize. It remains unclear exactly when Gaurav will receive the vehicle, but his public reminder has certainly put the topic back in the spotlight.
For now, fans are waiting to see how quickly the logistics are handled and whether Gaurav soon gets to drive the car he won on national television.
