Gaurav Khanna gets emotional in Bigg Boss 19 media round

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.

Earlier, during one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes before Family Week, an astrologer had entered the house and the contestants were allowed to ask questions about their future. During that session, Gaurav asked whether he would have children in the future. The astrologer replied that his wife was thinking about having children, leaving him visibly excited.

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.
