The rumor mill has been running wild, but Gaurav Khanna wants everyone to slow down. During a surprise appearance on Lock Upp 2, the Bigg Boss 19 winner clarified that his separation from wife Akanksha Chamola has not been legally finalized, despite weeks of divorce speculation.

## What Gaurav Actually Said

“We just discussed it, no petition was signed, nothing is official,” Gaurav told Akanksha on the show. He also pushed back on how the news broke, noting he found out about her going public with the split just days before he left for Khatron Ke Khiladi, leaving him to juggle the stunts and the emotional fallout at once.

## “I Am Still Your Husband”

When Farah Khan gave the two a private moment to talk, Gaurav got candid about why the public narrative bothered him. He said people have wrongly assumed they’ve been divorced for over a year, with some even suggesting Akanksha’s Lock Upp appearance was a sympathy play. He was firm on one point: legally, they remain married, and he doesn’t want anyone speaking badly about her.

## Where Things Stand

Akanksha had earlier shared on the show that the two have been living apart for a year, explaining that her lack of maternal instinct eventually became a point of difference, especially as Gaurav’s own feelings about having kids shifted over time. Despite the emotional weight of the conversation, Gaurav’s message was clear: nothing is finalized, and he still considers himself her husband.
