Akanksha Chamola-Gaurav Khanna Divorce

During the premiere episode of Lock Upp, Akanksha had shared her secret that she and Gaurav are heading for a divorce. It shocked everyone, as just last year, Chamola had appeared as a guest on Bigg Boss 19 to support Khanna.

The Anupamaa actor's conversation about his wife not wanting to have children had become the talk of the town. However, it is not yet known whether the issue of having children is the reason the two are heading for a divorce.
