"Growing up, mujhe lagta hai ki it's a very male-dominated world toh humesha aap mummy, beheno ke taraf jaate ho… kahi na kahi jo comfort zone unse milta hai.

Mere mein woh sab nahi tha; mere liye all females are beautiful. It's a tag that society has given; for me, it's pure love."

While Akanksha announced her separation from Gaurav, many people saw it as a publicity stunt. However, in an interview with Viral Bhayani, Akanksha clarified that she is indeed getting a divorce from Gaurav. She revealed that they are just away from signing the papers. She added that before entering Lock Upp 2, she and Gaurav were discussing the matter. Akanksha explained that when he got married to Gaurav, people thought it was a publicity stunt as they are actors. She said:

"It's just that we have to sign the papers. 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."
