Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola found themselves at the same Ganpati celebration amid continued public interest in their separation. The estranged couple attended producer Ektaa Kapoor’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebration in Mumbai, where a video of them appearing in the same frame quickly drew attention online.
In the viral clip, Gaurav and Akanksha appeared to interact separately with their respective groups and did not appear to look at each other. The footage led to speculation about an awkward interaction between the two.
Akanksha, however, later clarified that they did meet and greet each other at the celebration.
Akanksha Chamola Says She and Gaurav Khanna Did Meet
Akanksha arrived at the event in a lilac-and-gold saree, while Gaurav was seen wearing a yellow kurta with a pink kurta set.
After the celebration, the two were also seen greeting photographers while leaving the venue. During her interaction with the media, Akanksha was reminded that Gaurav had also attended the party.
She appeared slightly awkward before confirming that they had met inside.
“Haan haan, andar aaye the. Hum mil bhi liye… mile mile. Aise kaise nahi milenge? Hum mile,” Akanksha said, which translates to: “Yes, yes, he had come inside. We did meet… of course we met. How could we not? We met.”
Her response comes after the viral video prompted online discussion about the pair’s interaction at the celebration.
Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna’s Separation
Akanksha and Gaurav’s relationship has remained under public scrutiny since the actress revealed during her appearance on Netflix’s reality show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa that they were heading for divorce.
The revelation came as part of the show’s secret-based format and became one of the major talking points around Akanksha’s participation. Gaurav subsequently appeared on the show to support her despite their personal situation.
While Akanksha has spoken publicly about the separation on several occasions, Gaurav has generally chosen not to discuss the matter in detail.
Akanksha Reportedly Unfollowed Gaurav on Instagram
The speculation intensified after reports claimed that Akanksha had unfollowed Gaurav on Instagram and removed photographs featuring him from her profile.
Gaurav, according to the reports cited, continued to follow Akanksha on the platform.
The social-media changes further fueled public discussion around their relationship, although neither development by itself establishes the reasons behind their personal decisions.
Akanksha Addresses Rs 10 Crore Alimony Rumours
Akanksha has also responded to reports claiming that she had sought Rs 10 crore in alimony from Gaurav.
Addressing the allegation in an interview, she said, “Agar manga hota aur agar mil gaya hota toh main yaha baithti. Agar sach me mere pas itne paise hote na toh main kab ka ye desh chor kar chali gayi hoti.”
Her statement translates to: “If I had demanded and received that amount, then I would not have cared to sit here. If I really had that much money, I would have left the country by now.”
She did not provide further details about the financial aspects of their separation in the quoted interaction.
Gaurav Khanna Has Kept His Personal Life Private
While Akanksha has addressed some of the speculation surrounding their separation, Gaurav has largely maintained privacy regarding the matter.
Their appearance at the same Ganpati celebration has once again placed their relationship in the spotlight, but Akanksha’s own comments make it clear that the two did exchange greetings at the event.
