She further added that the decision was mutual and something they had been discussing for a long time. “This is a decision we have both taken. We have been talking about it for the past one year,” Akanksha said.

Why Are Akanksha Chamola And Gaurav Khanna Getting Divorced?

Akanksha clarified that there is no bitterness between her and Gaurav. She said that things have not turned ugly between them and that they continue to speak to each other. However, over time, they realised that they may not be right for each other as life partners.

“There is nothing bad between Gaurav and me. We still talk to each other, but we feel that we are not right for each other as partners. That is because we both want different things in life,” she said.

Akanksha added that their families had also suggested that they spend some time apart to see if distance would help them understand each other’s importance.

Akanksha Says She And Gaurav No Longer Feel Like A Couple

Akanksha revealed that their marital issues had been going on since the time Gaurav participated in Bigg Boss 19. She said, “All this has been going on since Bigg Boss 19. Gaurav’s parents and my parents told us to stay separately for some time. It happens sometimes that when you stay away, you realise each other’s importance.”

She further explained that many people believed the couple would eventually reconcile because they were still communicating and continued to be seen together publicly.

“Everyone thought that since we were talking, appearing together on social media and supporting each other at events, we would get back together. But we are not getting that couple-like feeling anymore,” Akanksha said.

Akanksha Chamola Did Not Want To Have A Child

Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola have been married for nine years. During his stint on Bigg Boss 19, Gaurav had opened up about wanting to become a father, while revealing that Akanksha was not ready for motherhood.

Speaking to Mridul on the show, Gaurav had said, “I want to become a father, but my wife Akanksha is not ready for it. Her thinking is also absolutely right. If I am working the whole day and she also gets work, then who will take care of the child? We don’t want someone else to take care of our child. When I expressed my wish, she explained her side to me and I understood her point.”

At the time, his statement had sparked conversations around parenthood, marriage and personal choices. Now, Akanksha’s revelation on Lock Upp 2 has once again brought their relationship into the spotlight.
