Former Couple Akanksha Chamlia, Gaurav Khanna Avoid Interaction at Ekta Kapoor’s Ganesh Puja

At the Ganesh Puja organized by Ekta Kapoor in Mumbai on September 18, 2026, Akanksha Chamlia and Gaurav Khanna attended the same function but kept a deliberate distance. Camera footage showed the former partners glancing at each other from opposite sides of the venue, with neither initiating a conversation.

The duo married on 24 November 2016 in Kanpur after meeting during an audition process. Their marriage, lasting nearly ten years, was largely kept private. The couple re‑entered public discourse in 2026 when Akanksha participated in the streaming reality show "Lock Up" Season 2 and disclosed that they had been separated for about a year and were heading toward divorce.

During her stint on the show, Akanksha spoke openly about the breakdown of the marriage, citing disagreements over the desire to have children. She was eliminated on 5 August 2026, together with contestant Varun Yadav, just a day before the grand finale. She also refuted claims that she was demanding a ten‑crore alimony settlement.

Gaurav Khanna has not provided any statements regarding the split, preferring to stay away from the media spotlight. Their ongoing narrative—spanning a secretive marriage, a public separation, and a reality‑show revelation—continues to capture the interest of audiences across the nation.
