Why it matters
Public celebrity feuds and personal disclosures on reality television often drive significant social media engagement and tabloid discourse.
Akanksha Chamola’s revelation about her divorce from Gaurav Khanna on the premiere episode of Lock Upp 2 has sparked widespread reactions online. While many fans expressed shock over the announcement, Rakhi Sawant grabbed attention with her blunt response. The actress reacted to the viral clip by calling Akanksha a “liar.”The clip quickly went viral on social media, with netizens sharing mixed reactions. However, Rakhi Sawant appeared unconvinced by Akanksha’s statement. Reacting in the comments section of the viral video, Rakhi simply wrote, “Jhoothi.”During the premiere episode, Akanksha made the revelation while speaking to hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. She said, “Okay, so me and Gaurav are getting a divorce. Yeah, we’ve been separated, living separately for the last one year. It wasn’t public, but that’s my secret.”She further clarified that the decision was mutual and that there is no animosity between them. “It was a mutual decision. We’ve been sitting on this for the last one year. Things are not bad between me and Gaurav. We still talk to each other. We both don’t think that we are compatible as partners because we both see very different futures, and unfortunately, it’s not with each other. So, there’s no bad blood between us,” she shared.Akanksha also explained why they chose not to make their separation public earlier. “Our parents thought we were just living separately for a while because sometimes couples need space to sort things out. Since we continued talking to each other, attended events together, supported one another, and shared everything, everyone believed things would work out. But that feeling of being a married couple was no longer there. I think this will be big news even for our families,” she added.This season of Lock Upp features a star-studded lineup of contestants, including Sunita Ahuja, Ram Kapoor, Shivangi Joshi, Akanksha Choudhary, Yogesh Rawat, Riyaz Ali, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Shreya Kalra, Sufi Motiwala, and others, promising a mix of drama, entertainment, and unexpected twists inside the jail-themed reality show.
