She also defended Akanksha’s decision to announce her separation on the show, stressing that contestants are judged regardless of what they choose to disclose. Scroll down to read what she said and watch the full interview.
Vinny Arora Dhoopar REACTS To Govinda-Ssunita Ahuja & Gaurav Khanna-Akanksha Chamola’s Divorce Controversy
When asked about the couple’s relationship controversy and divorce going on air, such as Govinda and Ssunita Ahuja and Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola, Vinny Arora said, “As a viewer, it’s a very personal choice. Yeh show ka pattern hi aisa hai, so obviously Akanksha had to give away her secret by saying that they had been separated. Whereas Ssunita ji is a very outspoken woman. She has spoken about it very openly before this as well, and if she has to, she’ll speak about it after this too. Right?”
Arora added, “So she’s a very outspoken person. Toh yeh bahut personal choice hoti hai. In fact, main abhi sabse milne gayi thi, and everybody was telling me, ‘Dheeraj aapke baare mein bahut baatein karte hain.’ But like I said, main itne time se show dekh rahi hoon, and none of it has made it to the episodes. Nothing has made it to the final cut.”
Vinny On Her Marriage NOT Being A Controversy
The host exclaimed that there’s nothing controversial about your relationship. To this, Vinny shared, “Exactly! That’s exactly what I said. Maine mazaak mein kaha, ‘Woh din mein itni baar aapka naam lete hain.’ Everybody said, ‘Humein toh yeh bhi pata hai ki aapka beta kitne saal ka hai, aapka dog kitne saal ka hai, aap kya karti ho, aap kya achha banati ho, kya khana pasand hai…’ Everything! Toh maine mazaak mein kaha, ‘Hamari koi controversy hi nahi hai na, isliye woh sab final cut tak pahunchta hi nahi.’ Which is okay. It doesn’t matter.”
She continued, “But it’s nice sometimes to hear that your husband is talking about you. Toh maine bas mazaak mein kaha, ‘Hamari koi controversy nahi hai na, isliye hamare baare mein kuch dikhaya hi nahi.’ So it’s a very personal choice—how much you want to reveal about your relationship to the world, aur duniya ko kitna access dena chahte ho. But I’m nobody to judge anybody. We are a certain kind of people. Someone else may be more open than us, and I think that’s absolutely okay.”
Vinny On Akanksha’s Decision To Announce Her Divorce From GK
Speaking about Akanksha Chamola’s decision to announce her divorce from Gaurav Khanna on Lock Upp was the right decision, Vinny Arora said, “I’m sure that if this wasn’t the show’s format, she probably wouldn’t have revealed it. I guess they would have handled it in a very different way. But the format of the show is such that contestants have to reveal a secret. And when someone shares a secret that people think isn’t a big deal, everyone says, ‘Is this even a secret?’ On the other hand, when someone genuinely opens up and shares a deeply personal truth, people still judge them by saying, ‘Was there really any need to say something so personal publicly?'”
Arora concluded, “So no matter what they do, they’ll always be judged because they’re on a public platform. If the secret seems small, people make fun of it and say, ‘What kind of secret is this?’ We’ve seen that happen with Chaudhary, and with many others. And when the secret is actually something significant, people start asking, ‘Was there any need to reveal something this personal? Was it the right thing to do or not?’ So there will always be opinions. There will always be different perspectives. You can’t stop living your life the way you want just because of ‘log kya sochenge?’ People are always going to have something to say.”
