Reality TV has a way of turning private heartbreak into public debate, and Akanksha Chamola just addressed one of the most talked-about moments of her Lock Upp 2 journey — her estranged husband Gaurav Khanna’s visit to the show.
Chamola, whose ongoing divorce from Khanna became a major storyline on the reality television series, faced backlash after comments she made about her husband’s on-show appearance were seen by some viewers as insensitive.

What Akanksha Chamola Said?
In an interview with Zoom, Chamola explained her mindset at the time of Gaurav’s appearance. She said she was already in the process of separating from him, and didn’t want someone she was divorcing showing up under the guise of support, since his real motive was unclear to her. She stated plainly that he had come to clear his own name, not to encourage her game.
She further clarified that his visit didn’t help her feel more confident about her performance on the show, pushing back on the idea that his presence was meant to boost her morale.

Addressing the Backlash
Chamola also pushed back against selective criticism, questioning why trolls zeroed in on her remarks about Gaurav specifically while ignoring other parts of her statement. She argued that if people wanted to moral-police her comments, they should apply the same standard consistently rather than picking and choosing. She added that she’s open to apologizing if proven wrong, but wants critics to hold her accountable fairly rather than selectively.

Why This Matters

Her willingness to address the criticism directly — rather than staying silent — reflects how contestants are increasingly using post-show interviews to reclaim their narrative once the show’s edit and public reaction take over.
