Actor Akanksha Chamola has opened up about her personal life and her readiness to love again in light of her separation from fellow actor Gaurav Khanna. In the premiere episode of the reality show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, Akanksha revealed that she and Gaurav have been living apart for over a year and are pursuing a divorce. This disclosure came as a surprise to many of their fans.

The following episode, released on Netflix, featured Akanksha discussing her current mindset with Shreya Kalra. During this conversation, she expressed that she is not prepared to enter a new relationship and instead wishes to focus on enjoying her freedom and personal growth.

While conversing with Shreya, actor Harshad Chopda interrupted and inquired about their discussion. Akanksha lightheartedly commented, “We were praising your biceps,” to which Harshad jokingly responded, “Thank you, but I am scared of Gaurav.” This exchange added a light-hearted moment to the conversation about her relationship.

Reflections on Past Relationship and Current Status

During her appearance on the show, Akanksha confirmed the singular nature of their current relationship status, stating, “Gaurav and I are getting a divorce. Yes, we have been separated for the last year, but this has not been publicly announced.” She emphasised that the decision was mutual, noting that “we have been contemplating this for the past year.”

Despite their separation, Akanksha affirmed that her relationship with Gaurav remains amicable. They continue to communicate and share cordial interactions. “Things are not bad between Gaurav and me,” she explained, adding they share differing visions for the future, which ultimately do not align.

Akanksha reflected on their attempts to salvage the marriage, stating that while they endeavoured to make things work, they ultimately realised they were no longer content as partners. She noted, “We both don’t think we are compatible because we both see a very different future, and, unfortunately, it’s not with each other.”

Marriage and Its Aftermath

Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna got married in 2016 after a period of dating and became one of television’s notable couples. Their relationship has seen various public highlights, including moments together during the family week of Bigg Boss 19 in November 2025, which showcased their affectionate connection.

Following their participation in Bigg Boss, they maintained a presence on social media, often sharing posts together and celebrating milestones, including Akanksha’s birthday in January 2026. However, with the news of their separation now public, Akanksha has clarified that their decision to part ways comes from a place of mutual understanding, as they no longer envision a shared future.

In conclusion, while Akanksha acknowledges the value they both brought to each other’s lives, she is looking to embrace her newfound independence. She wishes to navigate life on her terms, aiming for personal exploration rather than romantic entanglements at this moment.
