Key Highlights:

  • The two married in November 2016 in Kanpur after meeting at an audition, keeping their marriage largely private for nearly a decade.
  • Akanksha revealed their separation and impending divorce on "Lock Upp 2" in 2026, before being eliminated on August 5.
  • She cited differing views on parenthood as a reason for their separation and later dismissed rumours of a Rs 10-crore alimony demand.
  • Gaurav has largely refrained from publicly addressing details of the separation.

A Silent Encounter at a Public Event

Former couple Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna recently bumped into each other but refrained from talking, in a moment captured by media at a high-profile public gathering.

Where They Crossed Paths

The two attended the Ganpati celebrations of television mogul Ektaa Kapoor in the city on Friday. Media cameras captured the two at opposite ends amidst a heavy gathering, and while their eyes met as they briefly exchanged a glance, neither of them took the initiative to strike up a conversation, an interaction, or lack thereof, that quickly became a talking point given their public history together.

A Marriage That Once Seemed Solid

The couple, who was once thick in love, grew apart over the years. Gaurav and Akanksha tied the knot on November 24, 2016, in Kanpur, following a relationship that reportedly began after their first meeting at an audition. The couple kept their personal lives largely private throughout their nearly decade-long marriage, a discretion that made their eventual public separation all the more notable to fans and followers.
