Television superstar and Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna was spotted at Mumbai’s iconic Siddhivinayak Temple on Tuesday morning. The Anupamaa actor visited the shrine to seek blessings of the ‘Vighnaharta’ (remover of obstacles) before jetting off to film the highly anticipated 15th season of the stunt-based reality show, Khatron Ke Khiladi.
“Seeking the Remover of Obstacles”
Accompanied by his parents, Gaurav appeared in high spirits as he interacted with the paparazzi gathered outside the temple. Explaining the significance of his visit, the actor shared:
“When I am going for a show full of ‘vighna’ (obstacles), I have to seek the darshan of the ‘Vighnaharta.’ My parents were also here, so I wanted to visit with them. I make it a point to come here before every new project, but even if there was no show, I would still visit Bappa.”
When asked about his chances of winning the trophy this year, Gaurav remained humble, stating, “I don’t know. Whatever Bappa wishes will happen.”
