Akanksha Chamola recently made headlines when she revealed that she and her spouse, Gaurav Khanna, are getting divorced. She revealed this during the season 2 premiere of Lock Upp. Gaurav has finally spoken up about the situation.
During a paparazzi interaction outside the Laughter Chefs set on Tuesday, one of the photographers asked Gaurav Khanna, “Gaurav bhai, kya haal hai?” The actor responded.
“Bas yaar, wahi yaar jo pehle tha wahi haal hai abhi bhi. Pyaar abhi bhi utna hai, support abhi bhi utna hai… Main toh humesha support karunga Akanksha ko, meri biwi hai yaar. Pyaar kiya toh piche kyu hatu? (I am doing the same as I always was; nothing has changed. The love is still the same, and the support is still the same. I will always support Akanksha—she’s my wife, after all. If I’ve loved her, why would I ever step back?”

When the paparazzi added, “Bhai lekin controversy bahut jyada hogayi hai (But the controversy has become huge),” the actor replied,
“All the very best to Akanksha for life. Main humesha uske sath khada hu aur usko support kar raha hu. Vo acha khele aur jeet ke aaye (I will always stand up for her. I have always supported her. I wish she plays the game well and wins).”
Soon after, the video went popular. “He is the best,” someone wrote. Another fan wrote, “A true green flag indeed.” “His eyes!!!” read a third comment. Some internet users believed Gaurav Khanna was faking the emotion.
Akanksha Chamola said on Lock Upp 2
In the second episode of 2, Akanksha Chamola was observed discussing her relationship with Gaurav Khanna with her fellow competitors, Shreya Kalra and Sufi Motiwala.
“Jab hum shaadi mein the, mera maternal instinct kabhi nahi tha (When we were married, I never had a maternal instinct),”
She said,
“But I was open to discovering it, and it was never shut down. Gradually, however, I realised that I am not meant for it, and he was okay with that. But I guess, in time, that shifted.”
The actress reiterated what Gaurav said on Bigg Boss 19, stating that their divergent parenting philosophies are the primary distinction. She continued,
“Now he wants to have kids and I can’t give him that. Nahi hai mere mein instinct, woh maine bohot pehle bol diya tha (I don’t have the instinct; I had told him long ago). Jab mujhe realise ho gaya ki main bani hi nahi hoon iss cheez ke liye, maine tabhi bol diya tha ki main nahi karne waali hoon. So we had a discussion where I told him if he wants to leave me, then leave me – fair enough.”
