Akanksha Chamola drew widespread attention with her disclosure at the premiere of Lock Upp season 2 on Netflix, where she appeared as one of the contestants. She is married to television actor Gaurav Khanna, who emerged as the winner of the previous season of Bigg Boss. During the event, she made a shocking revelation, stating that she and Gaurav are on the verge of getting a divorce.
What Gaurav said to Akanksha
This week, Gaurav is set to join the reality show as a guest. The promo featured an emotional reunion between Gaurav and Akanksha on the show, during which he told her, "Band baja dia tune (You caused a lot of trouble)." In the tenth episode, Akanksha shared, "I have this female friend who once told me, 'Unfortunately, you are very unlucky in love and you will always remain unlucky in love.' I was like, I have come to terms with it."
Earlier on the show, Akanksha has revealed that she was bisexual before her marriage to Gaurav. She said, “Mujhe ladkiya pasand hain. Main admire karti hoon, main attract hoti hoon unke taraf. I think mera woh safe space hain. Growing up, mujhe lagta hain ki its a very male dominated world toh humesha aap mummy, beheno ke taraf jaate ho… kahi na kahi jo comfort zone unse milta hain. I love that feminine energy, I love that comfort and thrive in that. Aise society mein rehte hain jaha log bolte hain ki ladkiya dost nahi rah sakti jealousy hota hain ya competition hota hain. Mere mein woh sab nahi tha, mere liye all females are beautiful. Its a tag that society has given, for me its pure love (I love women, I admire and am attracted to them. They are my safe space. It is a male dominated world and one always gets close to their mother and sisters… that comfort one gets from them. The society says that women cannot be friends but it was never like that for me. There was no competition or jealousy).”
Akanksha said that she feels the most exposed on the show from the first day, and that perhaps it was a ‘mistake’ to come on the show. Farah gave her a hug and comforted her as she broke down in tears.
Akanksha Chamola has appeared in well-known television series including Santoshi Maa, Yeh Hai Aashiqui, and Crime Patrol. She and Gaurav Khanna married in 2016 after dating for a while, reportedly meeting and falling in love during an audition. The couple tied the knot on November 24, 2016, in an elaborate three-day wedding ceremony held in Gaurav’s hometown of Kanpur.
