The personal life of Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola has become one of the most discussed topics following the premiere of Lock Upp 2. After Akanksha revealed on the reality show that the couple had separated and were moving toward a divorce, many wondered whether Gaurav would respond publicly. The actor has now broken his silence, offering an emotional statement that has added another layer to the conversation. While confirming his support for Akanksha, he also made it clear that his feelings for her have not changed.
Gaurav Khanna Reacts to Akanksha’s Divorce Revelation
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Zoom/Telly Talk India, Gaurav Khanna addressed the statements made by Akanksha on Lock Upp 2. The actor, who was recently seen on the sets of Laughter Chefs 3, spoke briefly but emotionally about his relationship with his estranged wife.
Expressing his support, Gaurav said, “I support Akanksha and main usko har waqt support karunga. I love her.” His comments come just days after Akanksha publicly revealed that the couple, who married in November 2016, are heading toward divorce after nearly nine years together.
Although Gaurav did not elaborate further on the reasons behind their separation, his statement suggests that despite their current situation, he continues to care deeply for Akanksha. His reaction has quickly drawn attention from fans, especially after the actress openly discussed their relationship on the reality show.
Akanksha Chamola Revealed Why They Decided to Separate
During one of the Lock Upp 2 episodes, Akanksha opened up about what led to the breakdown of their marriage. She explained that even before getting married, she gradually realized she did not have the desire to become a mother. According to her, Gaurav initially accepted that decision and respected her feelings.
However, over time, the situation changed. Speaking about the turning point in their relationship, Akanksha said, “Now he wants to have kids, and when I see that, I cannot give him that ever… I had told him long back, when I had realised I was not cut out to be a mother, that I would never become a mother.”
She further shared that she had even encouraged Gaurav to move on if becoming a father was important to him. Reflecting on their conversations, Akanksha revealed that it was after Bigg Boss 19 that she felt Gaurav’s wish to have children had become stronger. Explaining her decision, she said, “I cannot do it. I didn’t want to put him in that situation.”
Her candid remarks sparked widespread discussion online, with many viewers appreciating the honesty with which she spoke about such a deeply personal issue. Others also noted the maturity shown by both actors in addressing their relationship publicly without blaming one another.
