# Akanksha Chamola says Gaurav came to clear his name on Lock Upp 2026-08-27T05:23:35+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Lock Upp 2 contestant Akanksha Chamola has accused estranged husband Gaurav Khanna of entering the show to 'clear his name', not to support her. In an interview with Zoom, she said she had no information from him to feel he was supporting her game, and he came only to salvage his reputation. Earlier, she had said she would prefer her parents or dog visit over him. Akanksha also hit back at online trolls she called 'selective' for criticising her remark about Gaurav but not her mention of parents and dog. She said if people want to morally police her, they should do it for everything. Gaurav entered the show after she revealed their divorce plans. The couple married in 2016 and have lived separately for almost a year but have not signed divorce papers. Farah Khan, on her podcast, had praised Gaurav as a rare good husband and said he had accepted Akanksha for who she is. Akanksha later told Farah that Gaurav's entry affected her game because negative information from home shattered her confidence. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The coverage of Akanksha Chamola's remarks is essentially uniform neutral-reporting across both outlets. NDTV leads with Farah Khan's praise of Gaurav Khanna as a rare husband, framing the story around a celebrity endorsement of his character. Hindustan Times leads with Akanksha's accusation that Gaurav entered to 'clear his name', framing the story around her rebuttal of criticism. Neither outlet questions or contextualises the claims. Akanksha's statement that the divorce papers remain unsigned is a concrete detail that grounds the dispute. The next step is whether settlement follows the show's conclusion. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - ndtv.com (neutral report) Leads with Farah Khan's supportive framing of Gaurav, omits Akanksha's 'clear his name' charge from the lead. - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Leads with Akanksha's accusation and her defence against selective moral policing, includes divorce detail.
