Beautifully written and deeply felt. ❤️ You captured GK’s journey, his strength, vulnerability, and dignity so perfectly. This is exactly why so many of us connect with him — not because he’s flawless, but because he’s real. His resilience, his honesty, and the way he keeps choosing grace over bitterness is truly inspiring. So proud to support a man like Gaurav Khanna. 🧿✨
May ypu win the show like you won so many hearts
Hey thank you so much for the appreciation ❤️...you all are really sweet 
GK broke something inside me yesterday.
I genuinely ended up crying because I resonate with that man on so many levels it almost felt like watching a mirror speak.
The way he talks… the softness mixed with hesitation.
The way he tries to hold back tears with a forced smile because he doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
The way he slips into awkward humour the moment emotions get too heavy as if cracking a joke will protect him from breaking down.
The way he smiles even when his eyes are grieving.
The way people misunderstand him as “fake” simply because his emotional language isn’t loud, isn’t perfect, isn’t common - it’s awkward, quiet, messy, human.
Every bit of that… felt personal.
His self-talk... specially..People laughed at it. Mocked it. But for someone with anxiety, self-talk isn’t drama , it’s the only thread you sometimes hold on to when your mind is collapsing. And the worst part is he knows people ridicule him for it. He said it with such raw honesty that I felt a lump forming in my throat.
His fear of trusting friends because of past betrayal,his loneliness outside the family circle,his emotional dependence on the few people he calls home .., his wife, his mother ..,his desire to rise high but only if Akanksha is right next to him…
None of this looked like strategy.
It looked like a man finally dropping the armour he carried for years.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, I felt as if I were standing there instead of him.
Because everything he expressed - the awkwardness, the fear of being misunderstood, the struggle to stay positive, the vulnerability that people mistake as pretence , I’ve felt all of it.
Every single line.I didn’t even realise when the tears started falling.It was not sympathy.
It was recognition.It was resonance.It was seeing a piece of my own journey in someone else’s trembling voice.
