'BB19': Gaurav Khanna Makes A Grand Entry, Fans Say, 'Brings Memories Of Sidharth Shukla..'

Bollywood may rule the silver screen in India, but when it comes to television, nothing creates the same frenzy as Bigg Boss. Hosted by Salman Khan, the show has turned into more than just a reality show; it is a cultural event and a staple in the lives of Indians during the latter months of the year. Now, after a gap of seven long months, Bigg Boss has returned with its 19th season, and one of television's most beloved faces, Gaurav Khanna, has stepped into the house. 

Gaurav Khanna made a swag-filled entry in Bigg Boss 19 

Gaurav Khanna, best known for playing the role of 'Anuj Kapadia' in Anupamaa, has made a grand entry in the Bigg Boss 19 house. He walked on to the grand premiere dancing to the iconic tunes of Shah Rukh Khan's hit track Main Hoon Na and Kisi Ke Haath Na Aayega Yeh Ladka. Ahead of his entry on the show, the screen showed some quizzy questions like "Bigg Boss 19 ka winner kaun hoga?" and "Adarsh beta kaun hai?". These questions created the tone for the entry of one of TV's most popular actors.

Salman Khan welcomed Gaurav by calling him 'green flag ka brand ambassador', hinting at his memorable role as an ideal husband. They even discussed some fun facts about Gaurav, where he opened up about how he is colour blind. The actor even joked that he always had a problem identifying traffic lights. This unexpected confession left everyone laughing. The actor then played a game where he had to tag certain things as either red or green flags, depending on different traits. In a fun banter, Salman asked what kind of 'flag' he thinks the superstar himself is, and Gaurav quipped:

"Aap green flag kya, evergreen ho."
