Bigg Boss 19: Gizele Thakral Picks Her Favorite — and It Might Surprise You!
Former Bigg Boss Hindi contestant and recent Bigg Boss Malayalam participant Gizele Thakral has finally broken her silence about who she’s backing this season — and her choice is sparking a lot of buzz. But here’s the twist: she admits she hasn’t been following the show from the very first episode. Why? Because she was inside the Bigg Boss house herself when the new season kicked off!
Laughing about the coincidence, Gizele explains, “I couldn’t start watching it from day one since I was part of Bigg Boss Malayalam at the time. And to support someone completely, you need to see how they’ve played from the start.”
Shifting Loyalties and Growing Impressions
Like many fans, even Gizele couldn’t escape the flood of Bigg Boss 19 clips and heated debates that dominate social media feeds every day. Over time, her preferences evolved — and so did her opinion on who deserves to win.
“At first, I was rooting for Kunickaa ji,” she shares fondly. “She carried herself with such elegance and poise inside the house, which I really admired.” But with Kunickaa Sadanand’s surprising elimination, Gizele’s attention turned elsewhere. “Now, I genuinely feel Gaurav Khanna is standing out as one of the most well-balanced and strong contenders.”
What Makes Gaurav Khanna Stand Out
Gizele highlights Gaurav’s massive advantage — his deep connection with Indian television audiences. “He’s already a beloved face and has built an emotional connect over the years. That recognition can go a long way in a show like Bigg Boss,” she points out.
But what really draws her admiration is Gaurav’s demeanor. “From everything I’ve watched, he has the temperament, calmness, and likability to go the distance,” she says confidently. “He’s emotionally steady, grounded, and knows how to manage pressure — qualities that are essential in surviving that house.”
The Reality Check from an Insider
Having lived through the Bigg Boss experience twice — first in the Hindi version and then in the Malayalam edition — Gizele speaks with the authority of someone who knows what it truly takes to survive. “People often reduce Bigg Boss to drama, but that’s just the surface,” she explains. “It’s actually a test of mental endurance, personality strength, and emotional intelligence. Every day pushes you to your limit.”
She adds, “That’s why I genuinely respect contestants who manage to stay real and consistent, no matter what the circumstances.”
Who She’s Rooting For Now
While she isn’t glued to the live episodes, Gizele continues to watch key moments and highlights online. Her heart, however, seems set. “Kunickaa ji was my first favorite, but now that she’s out, I’m completely supporting Gaurav Khanna,” she declares. “Let’s see how the season unfolds. Bigg Boss has a way of turning things upside down when we least expect it!”
As the competition intensifies and fans debate over who deserves the trophy, Gizele’s endorsement adds a fascinating layer to the conversation — especially coming from someone who’s lived that high-pressure environment from the inside.
And here’s where it gets interesting — do you agree with Gizele’s pick? Or do you think another contestant has what it takes to walk away as the winner of Bigg Boss 19? Drop your thoughts below — it’s time to settle the debate!
