Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna Announce Separation Citing Parenthood DifferencesPreviousNext

Television actors Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna, married since 2016, have announced their separation after nearly a decade together. Akanksha revealed on the reality show Lock Upp 2 that they have been living separately for about a year and are heading for divorce. She cited differing views on parenthood—Akanksha's decision to remain child-free and Gaurav's desire to have children—as the primary reason. Both maintain an amicable relationship despite their separation. Akanksha also expressed the emotional difficulty of publicly sharing their personal decision.
