Speaking with Farah Khan on the show, Akanksha Chamola said, "Gaurav Khanna and I have decided to part ways. We have been living separately for the past one year. People don't know about this yet."

She added, "This is a decision we have both taken. We have been talking about it for the past one year."

During the same interaction, Akanksha shared that there is no bitterness between her and Gaurav. She said, "There is nothing bad between Gaurav and me. We still talk to each other, but we feel that we are not right for each other as partners. That is because we both want different things in life."

The actress also explained that both their families had suggested they spend some time apart to see if the distance would help them better understand each other and reflect on the changes in their relationship since Bigg Boss 19.

Akanksha said, "All this has been going on since Bigg Boss 19. Gaurav's parents and my parents told us to stay separately for some time. It happens sometimes that when you stay away, you realise each other's importance."

She concluded, "Everyone thought that since we were talking, appearing together on social media, and supporting each other at events, we would get back together. However, we are not getting that couple-like feeling anymore."

For those unaware, Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola tied the knot in 2016 after dating for some time. During his stint on Bigg Boss 19, the Anupamaa actor spoke about his desire to become a father while sharing that Akanksha was not ready for motherhood. He also emphasized that he respected her perspective.
