She said, “Jab hum shaadi mein thhe, mera maternal instinct kabhi nahi tha (When we were married, I never had a maternal instinct). But I was open to discovering it, and it was never shut down. But gradually I realised that I am not meant for it. And he was okay with it. But I guess, in time, that shifted.”

She continued, “Now, he wants to have kids, and I can’t give him that. Nahi hein mere mein instinct, woh maine bohot pehle bol diya tha (I don’t have the instinct, I had told him long back). 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.“

The actress added, “Log shaadi isliye karte hain, let’s 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 to build a family). 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.”

During the third day, Akanksha shared, “Humare liye safe hona easy nahi tha. Maine jo bohot bara secret reveal kiya hain na ma’am, woh life-changing secret hain. Aap sab ke liye bohot asaan hain bolna ki hum teeno ko aap save kar dete lekin usne (Harshad) jo secret reveal kiya hain… uska pata nahi but maine jo secret reveal kiya hain na… aap log jab bahaar jayenge tab pata chalega ki kya secret bola hain (It was not easy for us to stay safe. I have revealed a huge secret, and it will be life-changing. It’s very easy for all of you to say why not save us, but I don’t know about him, for me, it was a lot. When all of you go out, you will see what that secret was).”

She added, “Mere liye woh bohot devastating secret hain (It is a devastating secret for me).” She then started crying and covered her face in front of the other contestants. Many others could be seen comforting her. Earlier, Akanksha said, “Me and Gaurav are getting a divorce. We have been living separately for the last one year and it’s not been public.”

She further explained, “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.”

Akanksha also mentioned that she does not even want to adopt a baby as she wants to be child-free in her life. Gaurav has not yet commented on this matter. He is currently participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.

About Their Relationship

Akanksha Chamola has appeared in popular television shows such as Santoshi Maa, Yeh Hai Aashiqui, and Crime Patrol. She and Gaurav Khanna married in 2016 after dating for some time, reportedly meeting and falling in love during an audition. The couple tied the knot on November 24, 2016, in a lavish three-day wedding celebration held in Gaurav’s hometown, Kanpur.

Gaurav On Playing Sympathy Card

During Bigg Boss, Gaurav was emotional after being accused of playing the sympathy card by discussing his wife’s decision not to have children. This incident happened last year on Day 1 of the finale week when the finalists faced a tough media interaction. A reporter questioned Gaurav, saying that when he previously mentioned on the show that his wife did not want children, many viewers thought it was a calculated attempt to gain sympathy.

Responding emotionally, Gaurav defended his wife’s decision. He said that while he personally loves children and had wished to become a father after marriage, very few men love their wives enough to sacrifice their own heartfelt wishes. He added that it was a very sensitive issue for him. And he would always respect and stand by whatever his wife decided.

Lock Upp Sach ya Sazaa is available to stream on Netflix.
