Orry has publicly voiced his support for his Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 co-contestant, Gaurav Khanna, during ongoing controversies involving Khanna’s estranged wife, Akanksha Chamola. This move has drawn significant attention from fans and the media alike. In a conversation with India Today, Orry elaborated on his motivations for defending Gaurav, noting their close bond formed during the show’s filming in Cape Town.

He described Gaurav as a “gentleman” who is unlikely to publicly confront issues or defend himself. Orry emphasised that he felt compelled to speak out on Gaurav’s behalf, as he believes his friend would prefer to remain respectful even when wronged. “I had to get involved; someone needed to say something,” Orry remarked, highlighting the nature of their friendship.

Reaction to Akanksha Chamola’s Comments

The situation escalated when Akanksha Chamola made remarks about her separation from Gaurav during her appearance on the show Lock Upp. Her comments regarding preferring to meet her pets over Gaurav reportedly led to a backlash on social media. Orry defended Gaurav by commenting on the incident and criticising Chamola’s statements.

He asserted that Gaurav is not someone to stick up for himself, which is why he felt obliged to step in. Orry’s defence has sparked discussions online, with many supporters voicing appreciation for his candidness. He insisted that without someone standing up for Gaurav, there would have been no counter to Chamola’s narrative.

This support appears to be welcomed by viewers of the show, who have followed the evolving dynamic between the three individuals involved. In addition to his support for Gaurav, Orry addressed further allegations of bullying levelled against him by another contestant, Shagun Sharma. Orry mentioned that he understood Gaurav’s intentions to encourage Shagun to participate in stunts, stating that he found Gaurav’s comments inspiring.

Debate Around Bullying Claims

Despite Orry’s assertions, perspectives on Gaurav’s actions differ significantly. Shagun Sharma has described her interactions with Gaurav as bullying, leading to a complex dialogue about what constitutes encouragement versus intimidation in a competitive environment. Orry attempted to clarify this dynamic, acknowledging Shagun’s emotional reactions during their exchanges but maintaining that Gaurav did not bully her.

Orry expressed that he struggles with those who become overly emotional, as he believes it complicates productive conversation. Referring to Gaurav’s push for Shagun to participate, he reiterated the importance of performing in a stunt show, emphasising that the purpose of their participation was to engage and showcase their abilities.

The controversy continues to unfold as viewers remain invested in the relationships and on-screen interactions between the contestants. Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, hosted by Rohit Shetty, continues to air on Colors, maintaining its position as a popular reality series amid these controversies.
