Gaurav Khanna says he keenly observes people on reality shows to help with future roles

Actor Gaurav Khanna shares how observing participants on reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi helps him prepare for future acting roles.

"As an actor, I observe people constantly. Even in reality shows, subconsciously, I am learning, watching, and storing experiences that might help me in future roles. - Gaurav Khanna"

Mumbai, May 6

Actor Gaurav Khanna has opened up on how his participation in reality shows is not just with an aim to win the show, but also prepare himself for future roles.

The actor highlighted how he keeps a watchful eye on all participants and their personalities that could further help him in portraying his characters in the near future, by embibing their personality traits in his role if needed.

Talking to IANS, he said, "As an actor, I observe people constantly. Even in reality shows, subconsciously, I am learning, watching, and storing experiences that might help me in future roles."

The actor also emphasized on the importance of continually growing in life by taking risks and trying out different things.

Gaurav who is all set to be a part of the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi, said, "It's not about survival; it's about growth. After a point, you want to do something new and step out of your routine."

Talking about his participation in reality shows, he said, "Reality shows offer a different audience and a fresh perspective. For some, it might be about survival or recognition, but for me, it's an experiment."

Talking about his previous victories in reality shows like MasterChef and Bigg Boss, Gaurav Khanna was asked if history could repeat in Khatron Ke Khiladi as well. Gaurav said, "I don't think like that. I never enter a show with the trophy in mind. I take it one step at a time. I assess myself as I go along, understanding what I am doing right or wrong. Khatron Ke Khiladi is unpredictable, you cannot plan for it."

He added, "Every episode teaches you something new about yourself. The trophy is a distant thought. Also, it's not true that a popular face automatically wins. A lot of money and effort go into making a show, so no one compromises that just for popularity. I focus more on what I learn."

Talking about Gaurav Khanna, the actor has been a part of the television industry for over two decades.

On the fictional front, he was last seen in the television show Anupama as Anuj Kapadia starring Rupali Ganguly.

Honestly, I find his mindset very refreshing. Most celebrities just want fame and money from these shows, but Gaurav is looking at it as a learning experience. That's why he's been in the industry for 20 years - continuous improvement is key.

I loved him in Anupama as Anuj Kapadia! He brought so much depth to that character. Now I understand where he gets his inspiration from - he's always observing and learning. Khatron Ke Khiladi will be fun to watch with him in it! 🎉

Nice perspective but I feel he's overthinking it a bit. Reality shows are for entertainment, and trying to turn them into acting workshops might take away from the spontaneous fun. Still, respect for his dedication! 🙏

I appreciate his honesty about not focusing on the trophy. But let's be real - popularity does matter in these shows. Still, his approach is admirable. Every actor should learn from real life like he does!
