Television actress Akanksha Chamola has publicly confirmed that she and actor Gaurav Khanna are ending their marriage, revealing that the two have been living separately for nearly a year before deciding to speak about it publicly.
The revelation came during the premiere episode of Lock Upp Season 2, where Akanksha was asked to share a personal truth. Her candid disclosure caught fellow contestants, hosts and viewers by surprise, as the couple had largely kept their private lives away from public discussion.
Opening up about the decision, Akanksha explained that while the relationship had reached a point where continuing together was no longer possible, there was no hostility between them. She said they continue to maintain mutual respect and remain on cordial terms despite deciding to part ways.
According to the actress, the separation stemmed from differences in how both envisioned their future. She indicated that the decision was not driven by conflict but by the realization that their long-term goals no longer aligned.
The announcement has drawn attention because only a few months ago Akanksha had dismissed reports suggesting trouble in her marriage. At the time, she had clarified that speculation surrounding cryptic social media posts was unfounded and insisted that there were no issues between the couple.
Over the years, Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola were considered one of television's well-known couples after tying the knot in 2016. They frequently supported each other's professional milestones and often appeared together at industry events.
The couple had also made headlines earlier after Gaurav candidly spoke about their differing opinions on starting a family during his appearance on a reality show. Akanksha had later reiterated that motherhood was a personal choice and that both of them respected each other's viewpoints, even if they did not always agree.
With Akanksha now confirming their separation, the announcement marks the first official acknowledgment that the two have decided to move forward independently. Her appearance on Lock Upp Season 2 has already generated significant buzz, with audiences praising her for addressing the matter honestly while maintaining dignity and respect for her former partner.
