Speculation surrounding Akanksha Chamola’s personal life has once again gained attention after a light-hearted moment on Lock Upp 2 led to widespread pregnancy rumours online. However, former contestant Sufi Motiwala has now clarified that the actress was not making a serious announcement and that the comments were purely made in jest.
The clarification comes as conversations around Akanksha’s personal life continue to dominate social media following several emotional revelations on the reality show.
What Sparked the Pregnancy Rumours?
During a recent episode of Lock Upp 2, Akanksha jokingly claimed that she was pregnant and humorously named fellow contestant Varun Yadav as the father.
The playful remark quickly became a talking point among viewers, with clips from the episode circulating across social media and prompting speculation about whether the actress was expecting a child.
Within the episode, the joke continued as actor Ram Kapoor informed Varun Yadav about Akanksha’s comment, leading to a humorous exchange between the contestants.
Sufi Motiwala Sets the Record Straight
After being eliminated from Lock Upp 2, Sufi Motiwala addressed the rumours during a media interaction.
He clarified that Akanksha’s statement was entirely part of a joke and should not be interpreted as a real-life announcement.
According to Sufi, the actress playfully exaggerated the situation, making it clear that the conversation inside the house was intended as light-hearted banter rather than a factual revelation.
As of now, Akanksha Chamola has not announced any pregnancy, and there is no official confirmation supporting the rumours circulating online.
Akanksha Previously Opened Up About Motherhood
Earlier in the season, Akanksha had spoken candidly about her views on parenthood.
During an emotional conversation on the show, she revealed that she does not feel a natural maternal instinct and had openly discussed those feelings during her marriage to television actor Gaurav Khanna.
According to Akanksha, she initially remained open to discovering whether her perspective on motherhood might change over time. However, she later realized that becoming a parent was not something she envisioned for herself.
She also shared that she had communicated those feelings to Gaurav after reaching that conclusion.
Akanksha and Gaurav Khanna’s Relationship
Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna were married for nearly nine years before deciding to separate.
During her time on Lock Upp 2, Akanksha confirmed that the couple had chosen to part ways and also spoke openly about various aspects of her personal life, including her sexuality and marriage.
Her candid discussions have generated significant attention from viewers throughout the season.
What’s Next for the Actors?
While Akanksha continues her journey on Lock Upp 2, hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, Gaurav Khanna is preparing for his next television appearance.
The actor is set to participate in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, hosted by Rohit Shetty, which is scheduled to premiere on Colors TV on August 1.
Meanwhile, Lock Upp 2 continues streaming on Netflix, with new episodes released from Saturday through Thursday at 8 p.m.
The Bottom Line
The recent buzz surrounding Akanksha Chamola’s pregnancy stemmed from a humorous conversation inside the Lock Upp 2 house rather than an actual announcement. Sufi Motiwala’s clarification has helped dispel the speculation, confirming that the comments were made in a playful context.
As with many reality shows, light-hearted exchanges can quickly gain momentum online, making it important to distinguish between entertainment and verified information.
