Akanksha Chamola has said that her husband Gaurav Khanna's entry in the reality show Lock Upp left her 'shattered' because he passed on information about her family that made her rethink her game. She was speaking to co-host Farah Khan on her YouTube channel. Hindustan Times reports that Akanksha said she entered the show believing everything was fine at home, but the information from Gaurav changed that. Farah Khan praised Gaurav as a 'wonderful guy' and a 'very good husband', saying 'you rarely find husbands like him' for accepting Akanksha for who she is. Akanksha had earlier revealed on the show that she and Gaurav are heading for divorce, that she is bisexual and does not want children, while Gaurav wants kids. Gaurav entered the show as a guest and told her that her secrets had shaken the family and that he has not yet signed the divorce papers.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both articles from Hindustan Times report the same event, but the first leads with Akanksha's shock and the 'shattered' quote, framing the story as her personal turmoil. The second leads with Farah Khan's praise of Gaurav, giving him sympathetic coverage. Neither article questions or verifies any claim. The balanced reading is that Akanksha's game was affected by new family information, and both her distress and Gaurav's acceptance are presented without independent context. The next step is whether the couple signs the divorce papers.
