(After watching all of your Lock Upp journeys, Riteish and I have decided that we want to secure the inmate who has owned up to a very difficult truth fearlessly, with immense grace and complete honesty.)Akanksha was happy to be saved and became emotional. She said, "Thank you so much. It feels great to get this validation from you all. It feels very good because in the last few months, I have been so misunderstood, across the entire country… for being someone's wife and behaving in a certain way. Now if I am clearing certain doubts about people, and about how a woman is supposed to behave and how she is, I am very glad that you have explained that to me. It really means a lot. I am very grateful."
