Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleGaurav Khanna is one of the biggest names of Indian television, whose fame skyrocketed when he essayed the role of 'Anuj Kapadia' in Anupamaa. The actor grew even more popular when he won two shows, Celebrity MasterChef and Bigg Boss 19. Gaurav has been a part of the television industry for decades, from kids to their grandmas recognising him at a glance. Besides his career, his personal life with his nine-year-younger wife, Akanksha Chamola, is also widely discussed.
Recently, in June 2026, Akanksha revealed on Lock Upp 2 that she and Gaurav have been estranged for a year and are headed for divorce. Amid the intense scrutiny and unfounded rumours surrounding the duo, her father reportedly broke his silence.
Ever since Akanksha Chamola announced the end of her 10-year marriage to Gaurav Khanna, it has sparked intense discussion among online creators and media personnel. One such journalist put out an Instagram reel about Akanksha's explosive revelation: her meeting with Gaurav during her Bigg Boss 19 visit in the family week, and her not accompanying him to his Kanpur house after the show's conclusion. At the end of the video, the journalist asked whether relationships break that easily.
In the reel's comment section, Akanksha's father, Rajendra Chamola, allegedly broke his silence about his daughter's separation. As per a screenshot shared by the original poster, Rajendra said that whatever Akanksha said on national television about her separation from Gaurav was true. He allegedly confirmed that she has been living with him at their Andheri house for a year. As per the comment, Akanksha and Gaurav split due to Gaurav's breach of trust. Her father claimed that the couple agreed not to discuss their disagreement over having children publicly; however, Gaurav did so on Bigg Boss 19 to gain sympathy.
Rajendra alleged that Gaurav acted as the green flag and made Akanksha look like a villain by sharing his desire for fatherhood on national television. As per the comment, Gaurav exposed his intimate spousal details to show himself as the pitiful one in his marriage with Akanksha, when it was actually the other way round. Notably, the commenter's authenticity cannot be verified, as it is not known whether the account actually belongs to Rajendra Chamola. Regardless, the explosive allegations have been generating immense buzz. The comment could be read as:
"As You, are very geniun, I am Akankshas daddy, she said very. True.she is living at Andheri my place since one year. Only till officially separated they will support each other professionally. One word for gaurav is very good actor. He could not provide financial and moral support to her. He breeach trust not to talk on child but he intentionally acted and took sympathy was his plan to make Akanksha vilion in media. Thanks to you."
During an interview with Telly Masala, she was asked about her thoughts on her husband being a green flag. She jovially took a dig at Gaurav, saying that he was a "very good actor" whose performance as a green flag seemed very believable to the audience. When the host asked Akanksha to cite one red flag about Gaurav Khanna, she laughed and said she'd rather call him "red forest". Her exact words were:
"Gaurav bohot accha perform kar rahe...bohot acchi acting kar rahe. He's a very good actor. Aisehi duniya ko bhramit rakhiye. Sabko lagna chahiye wo bhohot acche green flag hai...Main red forest bolungi [unko]."
