Television actress Akanksha Chamola has opened up about embracing a new chapter in her life following the announcement of her divorce from actor Gaurav Khanna. During the latest episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, Akanksha candidly spoke about her plans after ending her nine-year marriage, revealing that she is not looking for love anytime soon and instead wants to focus on herself.
The actress, who announced in the premiere episode that she and Gaurav Khanna are parting ways after living separately for some time, was asked by fellow contestant Shreya Kalra if she was ready to fall in love again. Responding honestly, Akanksha said she is currently enjoying her independence and wants to make the most of this phase of life rather than entering another relationship.
“I want to enjoy my freedom. I got married when I was really young, at 24. Maine literally utna kuch explore or enjoy kiya nahi hai. Now, after 10 years of being in a good relationship, I have my free time to explore, so I don’t want to get into anything else,” she shared on the reality show.
Akanksha’s heartfelt confession quickly resonated with viewers, with clips from the episode going viral across social media platforms. Many praised her for speaking openly about rediscovering herself after a long-term relationship, while others appreciated her mature perspective on healing and personal growth following divorce.
Despite the public attention surrounding Akanksha’s revelation, Gaurav Khanna has not yet commented on the divorce announcement or responded to her statements made on the show. The couple tied the knot on November 24, 2016, in a lavish three-day wedding celebration in Gaurav’s hometown, Kanpur, and had been together for nearly a decade.
