Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna rang in his 44th birthday on December 11 with a lively late-night celebration that quickly grabbed eyeballs online. The actor hosted an intimate yet starry bash on Thursday night, surrounded by his wife Akanksha Chamola, his Bigg Boss 19 friends, and several familiar faces from the television industry. As photos and videos from the party flooded social media, one moment, in particular, became the talking point of the night.
Why did Akanksha Chamola face online trolling?
While the night was filled with warmth and cheer, Akanksha Chamola also found herself at the receiving end of online trolling. In one of the clips from the party, she mentioned that her presence at Gaurav’s birthday celebration was his “biggest gift.” Though said in a light-hearted and emotional context, the statement didn’t sit well with a section of social media users. Some netizens mocked the comment, calling it unnecessary, while others jumped to Akanksha’s defence, pointing out that partners often express love in personal, symbolic ways rather than material terms. Despite the chatter, the couple appeared unaffected, continuing to enjoy the evening with smiles and laughter.
Who all attended Gaurav Khanna’s birthday bash?
The celebration saw a strong Bigg Boss 19 presence with Mridul Tiwari, Pranit More, Abhishek Bajaj, Ashnoor Kaur and Nehal Chudasama in attendance. Veteran actor Kunickaa Sadanand arrived with her son Ayaan, while singer Amaal Mallik was also spotted mingling with the guests. Several of Gaurav’s close friends and former co-actors joined in, turning the evening into a warm reunion rather than a flashy party.
Why did the cake-cutting video go viral?
During the cake-cutting ceremony, Akanksha kissed Gaurav on the cheek, followed by a brief lip-lock that instantly sent the crowd into a frenzy. Paparazzi and guests could be heard cheering and shouting, “adult wali pappi,” making the clip go viral within hours. The phrase struck a chord with fans, as it took them straight back to Bigg Boss 19’s family week.
What’s the ‘adult wali pappi’ Bigg Boss connection?
For those who remember, the phrase became popular during family week on Bigg Boss 19, when Akanksha entered the house and Gaurav was frozen by Bigg Boss. Unable to react, he watched as Akanksha joked that if he wasn’t released, she’d give him an “adult wali pappi.” The callback at his birthday party added a playful, full-circle moment for fans.
Who shared inside glimpses from the night?
Actor Nagma took to Instagram to share glimpses from the bash. Dressed in a brown co-ord set, she posed with Gaurav and Akanksha, and also shared group pictures with Ashnoor Kaur, Mridul Tiwari, Nehal Chudasama, Kunickaa Sadanand and Abhishek Bajaj. Other frames showed Awez Darbar, Pranit More, Faisal Shaikh and Ayaan Lall enjoying the celebration.
Any unexpected moments?
One light-hearted highlight was Amaal Mallik folding his hands while posing with Kunickaa Sadanand, later joined by her son Ayaan. Given their bittersweet equation inside the Bigg Boss house, their easy interaction hinted that things are well and truly sorted post-show.
All in all, Gaurav Khanna’s birthday bash felt less like a celebrity event and more like a happy after-party of friendships formed under the Bigg Boss roof—complete with love, laughter and a viral kiss.
