Gaurav Taneja implies Bigg Boss is using his name for publicity, but doesn't want to diss show: ‘What if I'm desperate like Ranvir Shorey one day?'
Popular YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, famously known as Flying Beast, was rumoured to be joining Bigg Boss 19 as one of its contestants. However, this is not the truth. The YouTuber shared he has been approached by the makers of the reality show several times, but things didn't work out between them. In a new vlog, he said that he won't be seen on the show this season. Gaurav shared, 'Arey bhai I am not going to Bigg Boss 19. Main Pareshaan hogaya hu. Some random PR page put up my photo along with a few others claiming we are taking part in the upcoming season. That's not true.' He added, 'Bigg Boss first approached me before COVID-19 when I did FitMuscleTV. Ritu and I were approached again when they had couples special season. I told them I was busy at that time. You won't see me on the show this season. However, I have had several meetings with the makers in the past five years, but things couldn't work out between us. My daily routine is very packed, and I don't think I can follow it on the show.' Elaborating further about his decision, he said, 'I don't want to be part of a show where the editing is not in my control. Where someone else decides your image. I don't want to take that risk in my life.' He added, 'If you ever find me on one of those shows, where I have risked my image and reputation, just know I have been paid extremely well. I don't really want to be part of such shows, but if someone offers a great deal, then maybe I will reconsider.' Gaurav then justified the reason behind his diplomatic approach towards the show. 'The fact is, you can never make tall claims like you will never appear on Bigg Boss. Who knows, one day, the situation pushes you to join the show. I can't troll anyone. What if circumstances bring you to work with them one day? If you want to survive in this world, you should avoid making statements on social media.'

You should not pull people down on your good days, what if tumhara bura time aajaye?' In the same vlog, he claimed that his name was being used to create buzz and hype around the show. He shared an example from his time on Shark Tank. He said, 'I went to Shark Tank. They have a marketing team, who approached us and aligned interviews. They don't directly market it, but do dealings with websites and influencers to create a buzz around their show. They have certain budget for it which is divided between pre show, during the show, and post show.' 'Bigg Boss used a similar strategy to create buzz around their show. Good marketing move. By using my name, they created a hype for Bigg Boss 19. I wish all the best to all the participants.' He further admitted that he loves to watch people fight on the show. 'I love watching them fight. Kalesh dekhne mein jo maza hai woh sci fi movie mein bhi nahi.' He claimed, 'People on the show know their job is to bring TRP. They are all friends, but they have to bring drama to boost TRP. I know this because I have been a part of a television show' He added, 'I don't think I can fight with anyone, not in personal life neither on camera. I don't want to abuse anyone. Chahe nakli hi kyu nahi, I don't want to abuse.'
