The Story in Brief
In the latest episode of Colors' Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, actor Gaurav Khanna revealed his fear of being called a 'panauti' (unlucky). After his team lost a challenge, host Rohit Shetty made him unlock his phone and show group chats. A message to actor Hussain Kuwajerwala revealed Gaurav's terror before a helicopter stunt and his deeper worry. Gaurav admitted that early in his TV career, many of his shows did not last beyond a year, leading to a tag that his shows fail. 'That is a very heavy tag for an actor,' he said on the show, as reported by Times Now. Rohit Shetty assured him that winning Bigg Boss 19 and Celebrity MasterChef India has turned the tide.
The Indian Opinion
The 'panauti' label is a lazy narrative in Indian TV, used to blame actors for show cancellations that often hinge on budgets or ratings. Gaurav's honest confession pushes back against that trope, but the industry still measures stars by the longevity of their fiction projects. Watch if his next lead show runs beyond a year, that number will truly settle whether the curse is broken.
