Gaurav Khanna also said, "I don't like when people speak ill of anyone I've been with or I am with"

Gaurav Khanna broke his silence on the ongoing speculation surrounding his relationship with Akanksha Chamola during his appearance on Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. While confirming that they are living separately, Gaurav stressed that the couple are still legally married. The episode also saw the couple candidly discuss media scrutiny, their separation, personal struggles, and the public reaction to Akanksha's recent revelations.

Gaurav told Akanksha, "It (the divorce) is the biggest news right now. We discussed this in May before I left for Khatron Ke Khiladi. Everyone thinks that we have already been divorced for a year or so. They are saying that Akanksha was giving auditions in that show (Bigg Boss) and I was doing it for sympathy. So I had to come; I haven't told a single soul until today."

Responding to him, Akanksha clarified that she had already spoken about their situation on the show. She said, "But maine show mein clearly bola hai ki ham separate reh rahe the 18 mahine se, abhi humne legal kiya hai right before I entered the show."

Addressing rumours surrounding their separation, Gaurav added, "They have misunderstood and think that I'm taking you everywhere with me just to make you famous and all that."

The actor went on to speak about the intense public interest in their personal lives. "I'm just avoiding media. Everybody wants a piece of this pie. People are calling it fake. People think that I'm just acting. I was so surprised with the way people have taken it. They got an open ground to party, making up whatever stories they want," he said.
