Television actress Akanksha Chamola has confirmed that she and actor Gaurav Khanna are heading for divorce, bringing an end to months of speculation surrounding their marriage. The revelation has come as a surprise to fans, especially because the actress had dismissed separation rumours just a couple of months ago.
Akanksha made the emotional announcement during the premiere episode of Lock Upp Season 2. While opening up about her personal life, she revealed that she and Gaurav have been living separately for the past year and have mutually decided to end their marriage. Her candid confession stunned both the show’s hosts and viewers, as the couple had long been regarded as one of television’s most loved pairs.
Speaking on the show, Akanksha explained that the decision was not the result of bitterness or conflict but rather because both of them now want different things from life. She emphasized that despite ending their relationship as husband and wife, there is still mutual respect between them. According to her, they continue to support each other and they ended their relationship on good terms.
The announcement has also reignited discussions about the couple’s earlier interviews on marriage and parenthood. In recent months, Akanksha had publicly rubbished divorce rumours and defended their relationship while addressing online trolling. Around the same time, Gaurav had also spoken about their differing views on having children, a topic that attracted considerable attention on social media. Those past conversations are now being revisited in light of the divorce confirmation.
Akanksha and Gaurav tied the knot in 2016 after a relationship that both had often described as love at first sight. Over the years, they regularly shared glimpses of their married life through interviews and public appearances, earning admiration from fans for their chemistry and companionship. Their relationship was frequently cited as one of the more stable marriages in the television industry.
The confirmation has understandably left fans shocked, particularly because the couple had continued making joint appearances even while privately living apart. Social media has since been flooded with reactions, with many expressing sadness while also appreciating the maturity with which the two actors have handled the situation.
Neither Gaurav Khanna nor Akanksha Chamola has publicly shared further details beyond the announcement. For now, the couple appears focused on moving forward with dignity, choosing honesty over speculation as they close a significant chapter of their lives.
