Television actor Akanksha Chamola has once again captured headlines with her candid statements regarding her personal life and her ongoing separation from her husband, popular actor Gaurav Khanna. Ever since her appearance on the reality show Lock Upp Season 2, where details about her relationship and sexuality first surfaced, public interest surrounding the couple has remained intensely high. In a recent media interview, Akanksha directly addressed the conversation around her bisexuality, revealing that she was completely transparent with Gaurav before they tied the knot in November 2016. She shared that Gaurav fully accepted her past and found her bisexuality to be “very hot,” adding that many men naturally find bisexual identity attractive, which made her wonder why online trolls and netizens struggled to understand or accept it.
Addressing the public scrutiny over her relationship status and loyalty, Akanksha firmly defended her commitment to her marriage. She clarified that despite being bisexual before marriage, she consciously made the choice to stay completely devoted to Gaurav and never had any intention of being unfaithful to him. She emphasized that once she chose to be with one person, she stuck to that commitment throughout their marriage. Responding to critics who expressed confusion over her evolving feelings and her recent statement about identifying as asexual, Akanksha explained that sexuality can shift over time, noting that many women naturally experience phases of asexuality at different stages of life.
The revelation comes amidst the backdrop of their pending divorce after over nine years of marriage, a decision the estranged couple made after living separately for nearly a year. While fans expressed surprise over the sudden end to their long-standing relationship, Akanksha reiterated that there is no bitterness or ill will between them. Having put the reality show drama behind her, the actress shared that she remains focused on moving forward with her career and exploring meaningful acting projects.
