New Delhi: Popular television actor Gaurav Khanna was crowned the winner of Bigg Boss Season 19 in a closely contested grand finale on Sunday night, securing the trophy after a 105-day run inside the reality show house.

Khanna edged out fellow finalists Farrhana Bhatt, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal and singer Amaal Mallik, concluding a season marked by high-voltage drama, strategic alliances and competitive tasks.
