Mumbai: Actor Gaurav Khanna is all set to make a special appearance on ‘Lock Upp’, adding to the excitement of the reality show.
His entry comes days after his wife, Akanksha Chamola, publicly confirmed that the couple is heading for divorce, putting the spotlight firmly on the actor’s personal life.
During the premiere of ‘Lock Upp Sach Ya Sazaa’, Akanksha had revealed, “Me and Gaurav are getting a divorce. We have been living separately for the last one year and it’s not been public. Things are not bad between me and Gaurav. We still talk to each other. We don’t think we are compatible as partners because we both see a very different future. And, unfortunately, it’s not with each other.”
Reacting to this revelation at a public appearance, Gaurav said, “Jo pehle tha wahi haal hain abhi bhi. Pyaar abhi bhi utna hain, support abhi bhi utna hain. Main toh humesha support karunga Akanksha ki. Meri biwi hain yaar. Pyaar kiya toh piche nahi mudunga (What the situation was before, it is the same now. I still love and support her. I will always support Akanksha. She is my wife. I will not turn my back on that).”
Another personal revelation about Akanksha came to light on the show when fellow contestant Shreya Kalra disclosed that she is bisexual.
The revelation left Akanksha emotional, following which she addressed the matter and shared her side of the story.
She explained, “Main shaadi se pehle bisexual thi. Mere relations rahey hain kuch ladkiyo ke saath. Bohot zyaada intimate relations nahi rahe hain but I have been in relations with a few females (I was bisexual before marriage. I have been in relations with females but they were not really intimate).”
“Jab mujhe realise ho gaya ki main bani hi nahi hu iss chees ke liye maine tabhi hi bol diya tha ki main nahi karne waali hoon. So we had a discussion where I told him if you want to leave me then leave me fair enough. Log shaadi isliye karte hain lets be honest… 99% want to get married because you want to have kids and family aagey badhana hain warna aap kyu shaadi karoge (Most people get married to have kids and take forward to family lineage). He is not wrong on his part. And then Bigg Boss happened and I realised that isko bohot zyaada hain aur main nahi kar paa rahi hoon (He wants it badly and I am unable to provide him that). For me I don’t want to put him in that situation,” she added.
Gaurav and Akanksha got married on November 24, 2016, in a grand three-day wedding celebration held in Gaurav’s hometown of Kanpur.
‘Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa’ streams on Netflix from Saturday to Thursday at 8 pm.
