Akanksha Chamola discloses bisexual past on Lock Upp Season 2

Television actress Akanksha Chamola, a contestant on the Indian reality show Lock Upp Season 2, confirmed that she identified as bisexual before marrying actor Gaurav Khanna. She said she had “relations” with a few women, though not deeply intimate, and described women as her “safe space” and a source of emotional comfort. The revelation came after fellow contestant Shreya Kalra overheard a private conversation and relayed it to Sufi Motiwala, exposing Chamola’s sexuality without her consent. Chamola broke down in tears on camera, lost a lifeline in the game and was comforted by host Farah Khan. The episode followed her earlier announcement that she and Khanna are heading for divorce after living apart for about a year. Another show moment featured actor Ram Kapoor complimenting Chamola’s bikini, highlighting the contestant’s prominence on the program.

The disclosures have sparked social‑media discussion about privacy, consent and representation of bisexuality on Indian television.
