Bigg Boss 19 entered a high-voltage phase this week as Gaurav Khanna became the first confirmed finalist of the season. He earned the Ticket to Finale after winning a tough task that pushed every contestant to their limits. The task tested balance, focus and stamina. Yet, Gaurav managed to hold his ground through all the rounds and secured his direct entry into the finale week.
Gaurav finished ahead of Ashnoor Kaur, Farhana Bhatt and Pranit More in the intense Ticket to Finale task. The challenge required the participants to walk across a bridge-like setup while balancing water-filled bowls on a scale. Any slight imbalance could cost them the round. His win also granted him full immunity from upcoming nominations and evictions, making him the first housemate to reach the final stage of the show.
Gaurav Khanna Gets Captaincy With Ticket-To-Finale
According to reports, the Ticket to Finale challenge ‘Well of Destiny’ kept the entire house tense. The magical well offered only one contestant a direct shot at the finale. The task had three rounds, and each competitor carried a stick with bowls of green and red water on their shoulders. Spilling red water beyond the marked line meant immediate elimination.
Farhana was the first to exit after Malti caused her red water to spill in Round 1. In Round 2, Farhana caused Pranit’s elimination. The final round saw Tanya make Ashnoor’s red water spill, leaving Gaurav as the winner of the Ticket to Finale.
Soon after his win, Gaurav received another major boost. He was awarded captaincy for the first time in the entire season. This double advantage sparked a huge reaction online.
