Can you be more precise ? Which Iot device, how is it connected today, how you can control it if it's offline?

You can consider the case of home automation and lets say my TV is a IoT device. Along with TV, I also have other devices like temperature sensors, AC etc...and all are connected to google cloud via a Gateway....Now I want to switch off my TV from mobile device and am out of my private network at home..... But through google could I want to switch off my TV...can google could have a virtualization of all IoT devices that I have at home...I hope it makes sense ... I am new to IoT and cloud

Is your gateway connected to internet? It's only your IoT devices which are on your private network ?

All devices are connected to gateway and gateway is connected to internet..

Yes, you would set up a IoT Core Gateway device in addition to registering regular devices.
Assuming you can program your gateway, it would communicate with Cloud IoT Core via MQTT/HTTP. Then, you can use any protocol you want (zigbee, zwave, bluetooth, etc). The gateway device should be able to store private keys/sign JWTs which are used to authenticate itself to IoT Core, so that the devices themselves don't need to.
For more information, I would read the following: https://cloud.google.com/iot/docs/how-tos/gateways/
