Gaurav Khanna created history after lifting the trophy of Celebrity MasterChef. However, his journey in the cooking reality show wasn’t an easy one. He had his share of fights, laughter and applause. However, for Gaurav, road to winning the trophy was a little bumpier, as he is colour blind, and it became a challenge for him to create some lip-smacking dishes.
Gaurav Khanna talked about his colour blindness
Recently, Gaurav Khanna sat down for a brief interaction with Viral Bhayani, during which he was questioned about colour blindness. The actor said that he has been dealing this since birth as it is a genetics problem. Recalling his childhood and how he would paint, the actor said that he would memorise the names on the colour tube, and then he would use them. He would ask his mother and sister about the colour name of things before painting in the school’s class. He said:
“Colour blindness ka problem mereko humesha se hi tha, yeh genetics hota hai, toh mai kya karta tha jo colour tube ke uper naam likha hote the na ki yeh lemon yellow hai, yeh olive green hai. Toh mai vo padh ke fir painting karta tha. Jab bhi mai koi painting banata tha. Toh ghar mein apni sister se ya mother se puch leta tha ki kya colour hai.”
