Bigg Boss 19 winner and television actor Gaurav Khanna faced an unexpected digital setback shortly after stepping into the online content space.
Hours after launching his official YouTube channel, the platform reportedly took down both the channel and its debut video, leaving fans surprised and concerned.
Channel Disappears Within a Day
Gaurav Khanna launched his YouTube channel on December 16, 2025, with the aim of connecting directly with fans following his Bigg Boss 19 victory. However, within a day, users were unable to find the channel.
Several fans who clicked on the link shared by Gaurav on his Instagram stories were met with a message stating, “This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.”
A Reddit user further highlighted the issue by sharing a screenshot and asking why the channel could no longer be found. The post quickly gained attention, with multiple users confirming the same issue.
Fans Speculate Possible Reasons
As no official clarification has been issued yet, social media users began speculating about the cause of the sudden termination. Some Reddit users suggested that the channel may have been flagged due to a rapid increase in subscribers, which often triggers automated checks on YouTube.
Others claimed that artificial traffic or bots could have led to the takedown. However, these remain unverified claims, with no confirmation from YouTube or Gaurav Khanna’s team so far.
What Gaurav Said in His First Video
Before the channel went offline, Gaurav’s first video featured him opening up about his Bigg Boss 19 journey and expressing gratitude to his supporters. He also gave a special mention to fellow contestants Pranit More and Mridul Tiwari, crediting them for encouraging him to step into the social media space.
Admitting his inexperience, Gaurav said he was trying something new and learning as he goes, adding that he does not even know how to go live yet.
