Akanksha Chamola's New Start After Divorce

Akanksha Chamola has candidly discussed her life post-divorce from Gaurav Khanna, after nearly a decade of marriage. She revealed on Lock Upp 2 that they had been living apart for a year before their separation became public knowledge.

Chamola described the significant challenges women face when ending relationships and starting anew. She detailed her decision to return to work after being homebound for six years, emphasizing the arduous process of building a career from scratch in Mumbai without industry backing. This period involved considerable financial strain and a deep reliance on family support.

Her announcement on Lock Upp 2 was met with immediate silence, followed by news from Gaurav Khanna that she had faced substantial public criticism. This revelation significantly impacted Chamola's mindset during the show, causing her to worry about her family's well-being and detracting from her game. She later addressed criticism from Gaurav's associates, stating she is unfazed by public scrutiny after enduring it for an extended period.

Despite the difficulties, Chamola has secured her own place in Mumbai. Although her plans for moving in have been temporarily paused, she had selected her home before entering Lock Upp 2. Her family's long-standing presence in Mumbai aided in her property search.
