Netflix’s reality show Lock Upp 2 has made a dramatic start, and its very first episode has already sparked widespread discussion on social media. Television actress Akanksha Chamola, the wife of popular TV actor Gaurav Khanna, stunned viewers after making an emotional revelation about her personal life inside the show.

Akanksha Confirms Separation from Gaurav Khanna

During a candid conversation on Lock Upp 2, Akanksha revealed that she and Gaurav Khanna are no longer together. She shared that the couple has mutually decided to end their marriage and that the legal process for their divorce has already begun.

The actress also disclosed that they have been living separately for the past one year, choosing to keep the matter private until now. Her unexpected confession quickly became one of the biggest talking points from the show's premiere episode.

Why Did Akanksha Decide to End the Marriage?

Speaking about the reason behind the separation, Akanksha explained that she got married at a very young age. According to her, she was only 24 years old when she tied the knot with Gaurav Khanna.

She said that marrying early left her with little opportunity to fully explore her career, personal ambitions, and life experiences. After spending 10 years in the marriage, she now wants to focus on herself and embrace a new phase of life.

Akanksha also made it clear that she is not interested in entering another relationship anytime soon. Instead, she wants to enjoy her independence and live life on her own terms after the divorce.

Rakhi Sawant Slams Akanksha’s Statement

Akanksha’s confession quickly went viral, triggering mixed reactions from fans and social media users. While some praised her honesty, many others criticized her, accusing her of using her personal life to gain attention on the reality show.

Among those reacting strongly was Rakhi Sawant. The reality TV personality reportedly commented on Netflix’s official post and questioned Akanksha’s claims. Rakhi allegedly called her "fake," while several netizens echoed similar views, suggesting that revealing details about a decade-long marriage on a reality show looked like a publicity move.

How Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna Met

Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna reportedly met during an audition, where their friendship gradually turned into a relationship. Despite having an age gap of around nine years, the couple decided to get married and spent nearly a decade together before deciding to part ways.

Internet Divided Over the Revelation

The revelation has divided social media users into two groups. While critics continue to question the timing of Akanksha’s announcement, others believe that opening up about a difficult personal decision should not automatically be viewed as a publicity stunt.

With Lock Upp 2 already generating headlines in its opening episode, viewers are now eagerly waiting to see what other shocking revelations and controversies unfold as the season progresses.
