# Akanksha Chamola denies faking separation for show 2026-08-21T21:16:53+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Akanksha Chamola has rejected allegations that she faked her separation from husband Gaurav Khanna for publicity during her stint on Lock Upp. The actor, who announced the split on the reality show, has been accused of orchestrating the narrative for mileage. I would never do something like this for PR, Akanksha told us. She said the show was about honesty and revealing secrets, not creating a narrative. She added that legal aspects are involved and she has chosen not to get into a cycle of proving herself. Akanksha, who married Gaurav in 2016, said she has made peace with public scrutiny and has asked paparazzi not to discuss Gaurav. She said: I choose peace over explanation. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Celebrity personal-life disclosures on reality shows often invite scepticism, but Indian television actors face unique career pressure to stay in the news. Akanksha, known for Swaragini and Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye, has publicly stated she and Gaurav have not had time to sign divorce papers due to work schedules. The legal process of divorce in India under the Hindu Marriage Act can take months or years if contested. The next signal to watch is whether either party files for mutual consent divorce, which requires a six-month waiting period. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Presents Akanksha's denial without endorsing or challenging it, quotes her directly without added commentary.
