# Akanksha Chamola rejects Orry’s popularity claim 2026-08-26T11:27:36+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Akanksha Chamola has dismissed Orry's allegation that she is using Gaurav Khanna's name for popularity, after she revealed their divorce on the Lock Upp season 2 premiere. Speaking to Telly Masala, she said the attention she is getting is because the audience is giving it to her, not because she is asking for it. Orry, who was on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 with Gaurav, had called Akanksha a 'real snake' for milking his good name. Akanksha said she is not disappointed by his comments and that everyone is entitled to their opinion. She and Gaurav married in 2016 and have not yet filed for divorce, Gaurav said when he entered the show to support her. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Hindustan Times and NDTV report the story with neutral framing, leading with Akanksha's denial and Orry's allegation without endorsing either side. The coverage does not probe the timing of her revelation or the legal status of the divorce, leaving the public feud as the central drama. The next development to watch is whether the couple formally files for divorce, which Gaurav said has not happened yet. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Straight news report, quotes both sides without slant - ndtv.com (neutral report) Brief straight report, no added commentary This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
