While fans are heartbroken about Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna's divorce, others have slammed the actress for using such sensitive information solely for the show and publicity. Others accused her of manipulating fans' emotions, as Akanksha and Gaurav Khanna have frequently shared lovey-dovey photos and videos of each other on social media. Fans further pointed out how Akanksha and Gaurav also shared a strong chemistry during Bigg Boss 19.

Reacting to Akanksha's revelation, one user wrote, "They've manipulated the emotions of Indian viewers to win the show. They said they separated a year ago, so the intimate moments seen on Bigg Boss were fake." Another user commented, "Why are you, Akanksha Khanna? If you haven't been living together since last year..." Another wrote, "What's the matter? You used divorce for a little fame. You won't get anywhere with this kind of fame."

A comment read, "She's playing with fans' emotions for the show and nothing else." However, that is not all; not just Akanksha Chamola, but Anupamaa fame Gaurav Khanna is also being trolled heavily after Akanksha's revelation. Many alleged that during Bigg Boss, he constantly lied to maintain his good-boy image, while others alleged that both husband and wife are playing with fans' emotions for the limelight.

Akanksha Chamola's confession came as a surprise to the entire cast of Lock Upp 2, including the show's host, Farah Khan, who appeared visibly taken aback. While the revelation left everyone shocked, the actress clarified that there is no bitterness between her and Gaurav Khanna, and they will continue to love and respect each other. However, over time, they realised that they may not be right for each other as life partners. Many fans have wondered if their decision was based on the couple's disagreement about having kids. Nonetheless, neither Akanksha nor Gaurav has responded to it. She said:

"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."
