I am loving the idea of being in love, says Gauhar Khan

Gauhar Khan might have expressed her love for actor Kushal Tandon on a reality show but the actress now wants to keep her relationship private.

The 30-year-old actress, who will again be seen with Kushal in upcoming TV show Khatron Ke Khiladi after their stint in Bigg Boss, says she does not need any reality show to keep their relationship going.

"We had expressed our love for each other on a reality show but now it has become very personal. We don't need any reality show again to prove how much we love each other. Joining the same show together was just a coincidence. It's not a medium to keep our relationship going. I am just loving the whole idea of being in love," Gauhar told PTI.

The couple met on Bigg Boss and love blossomed between the two on show, which Gauhar won.

The Ishaqzaade actress says she is happy with the way Kushal brings the best in her and helped her on the Colors' stunt-dare reality show.

"Kushal is one of the best human beings I have ever met. He backs me up whenever I need him and at the same time he keeps me pushing till I achieve the goal, He helps me to bring out the best in me," Gauhar said.

The fifth season of Khatron Ke Khiladi will be hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty and will have celebrities like Dayanand Shetty, Salman Yusuff Khan, Mugdha Godse, Ranvir Shorey among others. The show will be on air from March 22.

Gauhar says Rohit is the show's best host, which is based on the American Fear Factor. "I took part in the show to overcome every possible fear in my life. And when I heard that Rohit (Shetty) is hosting the show, I grabbed the offer. I feel he is the best host till now. He is encouraging and very big factor for all of us on the show to complete all the tasks," she said.

Their love for each other is undying and Kushal and Gauhar remained not only connected after stepping out of ‘Bigg Boss’ house but also off to a vacation in Goa and ring in 2014 together.

Kushal proposed Gauhar on the reality ‘Bigg Boss7’ and their romance culminate into win when Gauhar walked away with the winner trophy.

I am not going to camouflage it or lie about it outside the 'Bigg Boss' house," Gauahar told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.

"We came on the show, we became friends and we fell in love, and I don't have to lie about it at all," added the actress.

"My journey in the 'Bigg Boss' house has been dangerous. It has actually been a roller-coaster ride.

"I gave more than 100 percent in the past 15 weeks and I am really proud of it. I did whatever I felt is right and stood by it," she said.

"The toughest part for me was being judged - people judging me for what I do, calling me fair and unfair. They even judged my relationship with Kushal and said that it was for the cameras," she said. "Overcoming and struggling through that was a challenge for me. I was what I am," Gauahar added.

Winning ‘Bigg Boss 7’ is a dream come true for Gauhar Khan, "It's a dream come true. I feel lucky, honoured and happy to won the show. The 15 weeks of hard work paid off and I feel on the seventh heaven right now," she said.

"First of all it was because of Allah, then I will credit the way my family has brought me up and then my spirit to keep going.

"It was also because of Kushal that I was able to survive for so long. He gave me strength when I needed it. I really appreciate what he did for me during the show," Gauahar said.
