Mumbai: Actor Akanksha Chamola, currently seen on the reality show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, has spoken about her fears over a personal secret that she believes could have serious consequences if revealed on national television.
During a conversation on the show, Akanksha said that exposing what she referred to as her “third secret” could invite intense public criticism for both herself and her husband, actor Gaurav Khanna.
Akanksha Expresses Concern Over Potential Backlash
In a candid conversation with fellow contestant Pamala Serena, Akanksha reflected on the emotional pressure of participating in a reality show where personal secrets can become part of the game.
She claimed that if her third secret is revealed, it could lead to severe public scrutiny.
“I’m a public figure, no matter what. My husband is a big name in the industry. We’ll both get publicly lynched. People may forget who revealed it, but they’ll remember Gaurav Khanna and me,” she said during the episode.
Her remarks highlighted the emotional toll that personal disclosures can have on contestants beyond the show itself.
Tensions Continue Between Akanksha and Shreya Kalra
Akanksha’s comments came amid ongoing tensions with fellow contestant Shreya Kalra.
According to Akanksha, the rivalry intensified after Shreya previously revealed one of her personal secrets during the competition. Akanksha now fears that Shreya could disclose another sensitive detail as the season progresses.
Recalling an earlier interaction, Akanksha questioned Shreya’s changing stance toward their friendship.
“She said she became friends with me before leaving Lock Upp, but later said I wasn’t even her friend. She doesn’t realize how inhumane that feels,” Akanksha said.
‘My Family Will Question Me’
Akanksha also spoke about the possible reaction from her family if the secret becomes public.
She said her relatives would likely question why she had never shared such an important matter with them.
“Once this third secret comes out, my family will be upset with me. They’ll ask why I never told them,” she said.
Her comments underscore the personal challenges contestants often face when private aspects of their lives become part of reality television.
