How many family members are famous?"Akanksha denies milking Gaurav's popularityShe further claimed that she never tried to get this attention and that it came from the audience on its own. “I am not saying that I am someone out of this world hence the attention, but I know that the attention and popularity I am receiving is because audience mujhe de rahi hai (the audience is giving me that). Main nahi maang rahi hu (I am not asking for it). I am very happy and grateful for that. Now should I go on the road and shout that I need attention, will I get it? That too in Mumbai? I am talking about the entire nation. I need to know the science behind this, that how someone can use another person’s popularity," she said.The Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi actress further shared that she is not angry with Orry’s remarks and feels everyone is allowed to express their opinion.For the uninitiated, Orry commented on a social media post and accused Akanksha of trying to ruin Gaurav's image.
