"Or Lock Upp mein jaane se pehle bhi hum is par baat kar rahe the. It's just that we have to sign the papers. But ye in already process ho chuka hai, toh ye koi TRP ki le nahi hai.

For the unversed, at the premiere of Lock Upp 2, the hosts asked Akanksha to reveal a big secret, and the actress confessed that she and Gaurav are heading for divorce. She further revealed that the two have been living separately for the past one year and had kept the matter extremely private. She said:

"This is a decision we have both taken. We have been talking about it for the past year. There is nothing bad between Gaurav and me. We still talk to each other, but we feel that we are not right for each other as partners. That is because we both want different things in life."

Gaurav and Akanksha got married in 2016. The two had been dating each other for a few years before tying the knot. They were one of the most-loved couples, but things seemed to have turned sour after Gaurav mentioned on national television during his stint in Bigg Boss 19 that Akanksha wasn't ready to have children while he wanted to
