The relationship between TV actor Gaurav Khanna and his wife Akanksha Chamola has been the subject of constant discussion for some time. After Akanksha’s revelations about her marital life on the reality show *Lock Upp*, social media was abuzz with speculation about whether this was a ploy to boost the show’s popularity and TRP. Now, after leaving the show, Akanksha Chamola has openly addressed these speculations, clarifying that the divorce process between her and Gaurav Khanna was already underway and had nothing to do with the show’s TRP.

Akanksha stated that the details she shared about her personal life on the show were not part of any publicity. According to her, their relationship had ended a long time ago, and only the legal formalities remained to be completed. She said that people are linking it to TRP, but the reality is that the decision to divorce had already been made, and now only the documents needed to be signed.

The actress also clarified that she doesn’t want to exploit her personal life to gain sympathy or popularity. She said she only told the truth because she no longer wanted to live in confusion about her life. She also emphasized that every relationship has its own circumstances, and outsiders form opinions without knowing the full story.

Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola married in 2016. For a long time, they were considered a popular couple in the TV industry. However, reports of their separation had been surfacing for some time. During Lock Up, Akanksha publicly announced their separation for the first time, sparking a flurry of discussions on social media. Some attributed it to the show, while others considered it a personal decision.

Gaurav Khanna also appeared in an episode of the show. The conversation between the two at that time caught the attention of viewers. Even after this, many speculations continued to swirl about their relationship, but Akanksha’s latest statement has made it clear that the decision to divorce is not a part of any reality show or publicity campaign, but a personal decision.

Akanksha also stated in her statement that she wants to move on in life and doesn’t feel the need to repeatedly clarify the matter. According to her, personal decisions should be respected, and one’s personal relationships should not be used as a medium for entertainment. Currently, the only indications from both parties are that the separation is mutually agreed upon, and this chapter will formally end once the legal process is complete.
