Akanksha explained on the reality TV show that while she discovered early on that she did not have a desire to become a mother and wished to remain child-free to focus on her career, Gaurav expressed a strong desire to have children.

Despite their deep bond and mutual support over the years, they realized they were not compatible as partners because they envisioned different futures.

Following the announcement, Gaurav has spoken publicly in support of Akanksha, stating that his love and support for her remain unchanged. He publicly wished her the best for her journey on the show. Both Akanksha and Gaurav have maintained that there is no bitterness between them.
