The promo features a reporter questioning Gaurav, saying that when he earlier mentioned on the show that his wife does not want children, many viewers felt it was a calculated attempt to gain sympathy. Responding emotionally, Gaurav defended his wife’s decision and said that while he personally loves children and had wished to become a father after marriage, there are very few men who love their wives enough to sacrifice their own heartfelt wishes. He added that it was a very sensitive issue for him and that he would always respect and stand by whatever his wife decided.

However, the topic surfaced again during Family Week when Gaurav’s wife Akanksha entered the house to support him. Malti Chahar brought up the issue and asked Akanksha why she did not want to have children. Akanksha stated that she did not feel ready for such a responsibility and was unsure if she ever would be.

Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale

After the eviction of Shehbaz Badesha and Ashnoor Kaur, six contestants remain in the race for the trophy: Gaurav Khanna, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal, Farrhana Bhatt, Amaal Mallik and Malti Chahar. The grand finale of Bigg Boss 19 is scheduled to take place on December 7.
