Kunickaa Sadanand has been evicted from the Bigg Boss 19 house after a long stint in the game show. Since her elimination, she has been talking about other contestants and one among them is Gaurav Khanna. Kunickaa took a dig at the actor and said that she believes he is playing a ‘crafted character’ rather than being an authentic person. She further stated that Gaurav is playing the game by maintaining the image of Anuj Kapadia (from Anupamaa).
In an interview with The Hindustan Times, Kunickaa Sadanand said, “I truly feel GK is not GK inside the Bigg Boss house. He is playing Anuj Kapadia. If he has managed to maintain that image throughout and rise so decently, then it’s a smart gameplay. He has moved smartly without being abusive or disrespectful. But I don’t think that’s the real Gaurav. It’s a controlled version, like a well-written script—a well-thought-out plan.” While she appreciates his rise, she believes public persona may be strategically curated as it is ‘too polished to be natural’.
‘This strategy has definitely worked for him. If he’s acting inside the house, he should be awarded because that isn’t easy. To do it for this long—he deserves to be recognised for it,” the actress added.

"You are truly a Mother Figure" 😍
Loved how Kunicka said she never wanted the “mother–son” tag to limit the game, yet still held Gaurav like a son. 🥹
What a beautiful journey. 💥#BiggBoss19 #BB19 pic.twitter.com/NU6ZFtUwsx
