Last Updated:July 07, 2026, 19:32 IST

In one of the previous episodes of Lock Upp, Akanksha stated that she and Gaurav have been living separately for a year.

Shilpa Shinde is on a fighting spree ever since her entry in Lock Upp 2 as a wild card contestant. Recently, the actress was seen mocking Akanksha Chamola. Shilpa was talking to Sufi Motiwala when she claimed that Akanksha is on the show only because of her husband, actor and Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna.

“Main usko bola woh Gaurav ke vajah se aayi hain. Maine kaha usko kabhi dekha tha (I said that she is here because of her husband — where had I seen her before?)," Shilpa said, as quoted by NDTV.

Later, Akanksha also spoke about Shilpa and told others, “I feel Shilpa doesn’t like me."

Akanksha Chamola, Gaurav Khanna Separated?

In one of the previous episodes of Lock Upp, Akanksha stated that she and Gaurav have been living separately for a year. She further claimed that the two are getting a divorce. Later, in another episode, Akanksha was speaking to her co-participants, Shreya Kalra and Sufi Motiwala when she revealed the reason behind her divorce.

“When we were married, I never had a maternal instinct. But I was open to discovering it, and it was never shut down. Gradually, however, I realised that I am not meant for it, and he was okay with that. But I guess, in time, that shifted. Now he wants to have kids and I can’t give him that," she said.

Gaurav Dismisses Akanksha’s Claims

However, Gaurav Khanna later spoke to Times Now and clarified that he ‘loves’ Akanksha. While he did not directly address Chamola’s claims that they are separated, he indirectly dismissed it by saying, “I support Akanksha and main usko har waqt support karunga. I love her."

Gaurav also spoke to the paparazzi outside the sets of Laughter Chefs and said, “Bas yaar, wahi yaar jo pehle tha wahi haal hai abhi bhi. Pyaar abhi bhi utna hai, support abhi bhi utna hai… Main toh humesha support karunga Akanksha ko, meri biwi hai yaar. Pyaar kiya toh piche kyu hatu." The Bigg Boss 19 winner further added, “All the very best to Akanksha for life. Main humesha uske sath khada hu aur usko support kar raha hu. Vo acha khele aur jeet ke aaye."
