# Akanksha Chamola breaks silence on divorce, PR allegations 2026-08-22T04:36:42+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet TV personality Akanksha Chamola has broken her silence over the backlash and allegations following her announcement of divorce from husband Gaurav Khanna on the reality show 'Lock Up'. In an interview with HT, she denied staging the separation for publicity, saying she would never do such things for PR. Chamola said she was only being honest about secrets she had kept for a long time, and did not fabricate any story about anyone on the show. She added that the matter also involves legal aspects which she has mentioned before. The couple, who married in 2016, have been living separately for a while. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The case highlights how reality shows increasingly serve as platforms for personal disclosures that later become public legal battles. In India, divorce proceedings are private until one party chooses to go public, often altering the narrative. Chamola's decision to speak now suggests she is trying to regain control over a story that had been framed against her. The next stage will be the actual divorce petition in family court, which will decide grounds, alimony and custody, if any. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Reports Chamola's denial of PR stunt and her explanation without editorialising, uses direct quotes from her interview.
