Akanksha Chamola asks Meta to change Instagram username amid divorce

Indian television actress Akanksha Chamola, who disclosed her pending divorce from actor Gaurav Khanna on the reality show Lock Upp season 2, posted an Instagram story tagging Meta, Meta India and Instagram. She requested urgent assistance to change her handle @akankshagkhanna, saying verification‑related restrictions prevent her from doing so.

Chamola said she has tried multiple times to modify the username and asked the platforms to review the issue. Observers speculate she may be planning to drop “Khanna” from her social‑media identity as the divorce proceeds.

The request highlights the challenges public figures face with verified account restrictions on major social‑media services.
