Television actor Akanksha Chamola has responded to speculation surrounding her announcement about separating from husband Gaurav Khanna, firmly denying claims that the revelation was made for publicity.
After surprising audiences with the disclosure during the premiere of Lock Upp 2, Akanksha has clarified that the couple’s decision to part ways is genuine and that the legal process is already underway.
Akanksha Responds to Public Speculation
The announcement sparked widespread discussion on social media, with some viewers questioning whether the revelation was intended to generate attention for the reality show.
Addressing those reactions during a media interaction following her eviction from the show, Akanksha said the separation is not a publicity stunt.
According to the actor, the divorce proceedings have already begun, and only the formal signing of the legal documents remains.
Her statement was aimed at putting an end to speculation surrounding the authenticity of the announcement.
Divorce Process Underway
Akanksha shared that she and Gaurav have been living separately for about a year before making their decision public.
While the couple had chosen to keep their personal lives private during that period, she said they eventually felt it was the right time to acknowledge the separation.
She also indicated that the legal formalities are nearing completion.
A Marriage That Lasted Nearly a Decade
Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna married in 2016 after dating for several years.
Over the years, the pair became one of television’s well-known couples, frequently appearing together at public events and sharing moments from their personal lives on social media.
Their relationship was admired by many fans throughout their marriage.
Fans React to the News
Following Akanksha’s announcement, reactions across social media were mixed.
While some users initially questioned the timing of the revelation because it coincided with a reality show appearance, others expressed support for the couple’s decision to handle a difficult personal situation on their own terms.
The clarification has shifted much of the online conversation toward respecting their privacy during the legal process.
Privacy During Personal Transitions
