Akanksha Chamola on Reality Show Pressure: ‘I Don’t Normally Get Stressed’

Mumbai: Actress Akanksha Chamola, who attracted considerable attention during her stint on the reality show Lock Upp, says she does not allow the pressure surrounding reality and game shows to get the better of her.

Akanksha is now set to appear on the Indian Game Show, hosted by comedian and television personalities Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa. Speaking exclusively to IANS, the actress opened up about handling stress while moving from one reality-based show to another.

According to Akanksha, people around her often worry more about her participation in such shows than she does herself. She said she generally remains calm and sees the opportunity to take part in different formats as an exciting experience.

“I don’t normally get stressed. I am one of those people. Whenever I come somewhere, people get stressed. You must be aware. The whole world knows. Everyone takes more stress from me. I don’t. So, this is even more exciting for me. I am coming to one show after another,” she said.

For Akanksha, the back-to-back projects are also an opportunity to explore a different side of reality entertainment. Rather than viewing the demanding environment as a source of anxiety, she appears to be embracing the change in format and the lighter atmosphere of the new show.

Akanksha Chamola on the difference between ‘Lock Upp’ and ‘Indian Game Show’

The actress also drew a humorous distinction between her experience on Lock Upp and her upcoming appearance on Indian Game Show.

Explaining how the two formats differ, Akanksha said, “I am getting to do something different. Here, we are having fun. There, it was a fight to become a winner. Here, it is a fight to become a loser. This is the difference between the two game shows.”

Her comments highlight the contrasting nature of the two experiences. While Lock Upp placed contestants in a highly competitive reality-show environment where winning was the ultimate objective, the Indian Game Show is built around entertainment and physical challenges.

The upcoming show will feature celebrities taking part in high-energy physical tasks while creating entertaining moments along the way. For Akanksha, the format offers a chance to participate in something less focused on the intense competitive atmosphere associated with her earlier reality-show appearance.

Akanksha became a talking point during her time on Lock Upp, where she made personal revelations about her relationship and sexuality.

During the show, she spoke about her separation and impending divorce from actor Gaurav Khanna. She also publicly discussed identifying as bisexual and spoke about relationships with women before her marriage.

Those revelations generated significant attention and became an important part of the public conversation surrounding her appearance on the show.

With Indian Game Show, Akanksha is now moving into a different kind of television experience. Her latest comments suggest that she is approaching the new challenge with enthusiasm rather than allowing the pressures associated with reality television to overwhelm her.

As celebrities compete in physical challenges and entertainment-driven tasks, the actress is looking forward to enjoying the experience and exploring a format that differs substantially from Lock Upp.
