Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna Separate Over Child-Free Decision

Actress Akanksha Chamola revealed on Netflix reality show *Lock Upp* Season 2 that she and television actor Gaurav Khanna are ending their marriage. She said she has never had a maternal instinct and wants to remain child‑free, while Khanna now wishes to have children. The difference in life goals, she explained, led to a mutual decision to divorce after living apart for about a year. The couple married in November 2016 and were together for nearly a decade.

Both described the split as amicable, emphasizing no bitterness and continued communication. Following the announcement, Khanna posted his first Instagram picture, sharing a captionless photo with the hashtags “#LoveYourself” and his name. A purported comment from Chamola’s father surfaced online, accusing Khanna of breaking trust, but its authenticity remains unverified.

Chamola’s statements included, “When we were married, I never had maternal instincts. He wants kids, I cannot give him that.” The divorce has drawn significant attention on social media and entertainment news outlets across India.
