Lock Upp 2 has already begun making headlines with contestants opening up about their personal lives. During the premiere episode, actress Akanksha Chamola made the shocking revelation that she and actor Gaurav Khanna are getting divorced after living separately for the past one year.While speaking to hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, Akanksha 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 went on to clarify that the decision was mutual and that there is no bitterness 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.”Riteish Deshmukh then asked whether the separation happened around the time Gaurav participated in Bigg Boss. Responding to the question, Akanksha confirmed that it did and explained that both families initially believed the couple was simply taking some time apart.“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 said.Riteish concluded the conversation by wishing Akanksha the very best. Her candid revelation has emerged as one of the most talked-about moments from the Lock Upp 2 premiere.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 Karla, Sufi Motiwala and others promising a mix of drama, entertainment, and unexpected twists inside the jail-themed reality show.
