Akanksha Chamola, on the sets of Lock Upp Season 2, had announced that she is heading for a divorce from Gaurav Khanna. Now, Akanksha is once again in the limelight as she reportedly plans to drop the 'Khanna' surname from her Instagram username. Akanksha has approached Meta India and Instagram, requesting them to change her social media username. For the unversed, at the moment Akanksha's IG username is 'akankshagkhanna'.

Akanksha Chamola desperately wants to remove the 'Khanna' surname from her IG username

Netizens have not stopped discussing Akanksha Chamola's plans to drop 'Khanna' from her name. Akanksha had shared a note on her Instagram Stories and explained that she had tried to change her 'akankshagkhanna' username. However, she is unable to do the same due to restrictions linked to her verified handle. Her note read:

"@meta @metaindia @instagram seeking urgent assistance for username change. Due to the current verification-related restrictions, we have been unable to change the username despite multiple attempts. We would appreciate it if your team could review the issue and advise on a possible resolution."

Netizens think that Akanksha Chamola is gaining attention by dropping the 'Khanna' surname from her username

Akanksha's note of wanting to drop her husband, Gaurav Khanna's surname from her name has come amid her separation news. Netizens think she is doing a publicity stunt, as one user wrote, "She's such an attention seeker. Wants to get attention from everything. Keeps using GK to be in media headlines. Lol. Madam email kardeti, essei bhi news mei rehna. Anything for being in the news."

An angry user does not want the focus to be on Akanksha and wrote, "Requesting media stop giving her coverage; she was known because of GK.. Now no GK, nobody is interested in this spoilt brat. Bhai aisa kya ho gya hai, itni nafrat kisi se koi kaise kar sakta hai. GK sochta hoga ki kya hi bawasir gale mei gayi mare leech ki tarh aakhiri dum tak khoon choosti rahegi fame ki bhookhi."

However, there was a part of social media users who came out in support of Akanksha. Her fans spoke about how Gaurav Khanna doesn’t seem to be exactly the person he presents himself to be publicly. Initially, when he came to MasterChef, fans wanted him to win as he came across as humble, talented, and sincere. However, after watching him on Bigg Boss 19, many fans of Akanksha changed their opinions on him.

A user noted how Gaurav repeatedly said that he loved Akanksha deeply and portrayed himself as a devoted husband. But then he publicly brought up the fact that she didn’t want to have children. In a society like India, the fan felt that women are still judged very harshly for not wanting kids. Supporting Akanksha, the statement by the die-hard fan read:

"Whether people agree with it or not, women are often criticised or even abandoned in marriages over this issue. If the decision about not having children had already been discussed and mutually accepted before marriage, then bringing it up later on national television feels unfair. It creates a narrative where he appears to be the 'green flag' while Akanksha is painted as the person at fault."

For the unversed, Akanksha Chamola earlier had opened up about deeply personal aspects of her life. Gaurav, on the one hand, wanted to have kids and embrace fatherhood, but Akanksha did not want to embrace motherhood. She had spoken about dealing with personal issues, being bisexual and that amid her divorce, she is asexual. Gaurav and Akanksha's relationship looked like a complicated affair. No one knows the real reason behind their divorce, and amid the news of their separation, all the personal matters of Akanksha and Gaurav are no longer between them.
