Television actor Gaurav Khanna and actress Akanksha Chamola have become the centre of social media discussions after Akanksha revealed that the couple has decided to separate following nine years of marriage. The announcement, made on the premiere episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, surprised fans who had recently seen the couple sharing affectionate moments on Bigg Boss 19.
During the show, Akanksha disclosed that she and Gaurav have been living separately for the past year. She clarified that there is no bitterness between them, but they are no longer compatible as life partners and have different visions for their future. According to her, both families had suggested that they spend time apart to understand their relationship better and see whether reconciliation was possible.
Akanksha further shared that despite living separately, they continued talking regularly, attending public events together and supporting each other. Because of this, people around them believed that everything would eventually work out. However, she admitted that the emotional bond of being husband and wife had gradually faded.
Soon after the revelation aired, social media was flooded with mixed reactions. Many viewers questioned the couple’s appearance on Bigg Boss 19, where Akanksha entered during the family week to support Gaurav. Fans recalled their romantic moments, including affectionate gestures and public displays of love, and some accused the couple of presenting a “perfect marriage” despite allegedly facing relationship issues.
Several users labelled the pair as “fake” and “dramebaaz,” claiming they had created an ideal image for the audience. Others expressed disappointment, saying they admired Gaurav and Akanksha’s relationship and were saddened to learn that the couple had reportedly been living apart during that period. At the same time, many fans urged people not to judge the couple, pointing out that personal relationships are often far more complex than what is visible in public.
Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola tied the knot on November 24, 2016, in a grand three-day wedding ceremony held in Kanpur. Their separation has now become one of the most talked-about topics in the television industry, with fans closely following any further developments regarding their relationship.
