At the Lock Upp Season 2 premiere, Akanksha Chamola dropped a line that made a lot of people do a double-take: she announced that she and husband Gaurav Khanna are getting a divorce and have actually been living apart for the past year. The moment was short, serious, and instantly went viral after Netflix shared the clip on Instagram. Predictably, the comments section exploded — and one reaction that got extra attention was from Rakhi Sawant, who bluntly called Akanksha “jhoothi” (liar) with a laughing emoji. That single word set off a whole wave of reactions online.
Akanksha’s statement felt raw and personal. She explained that she and Gaurav still talk and there’s no bad blood, but they don’t see the same future together. That honesty landed with some viewers, while others immediately smelled publicity. In the world of reality TV, where drama and attention go hand in hand, skeptics were quick to question whether the divorce reveal was real or just another storyline.

Rakhi Sawant comment on Akanksha Chamola
Rakhi’s reaction was short and sharp. She commented on a post of Netflix India ‘Zuthi’, fans and critics alike piled into the comments, many agreeing with her. Comments ranged from “I also feel she is lying” to predictions that the couple will patch things up after the show. Others pointed out Akanksha’s smile during the announcement and said that it didn’t look like someone going through a real breakup. That kind of detail, even something as small as a smile, becomes evidence for people who already suspect the moment was scripted.
There were also plenty of take-no-prisoners reactions. Some viewers openly sided with Gaurav, saying the split would be good for him. Others found it odd that someone would speak about divorce in such a calm, almost cheerful way. A few users compared this to past reality-TV moments, like comments on other shows where couples said the same thing but stayed together, and concluded this might just be another TV twist.
As usual, social media detectives started digging through both Akanksha’s and Gaurav’s Instagram histories. Pictures of them together at Holi and at various events popped up, and people debated whether those posts proved they were still close or just shared memories from better times. Others noticed Akanksha missing from certain gatherings and suggested she’s been distant for work reasons. Small details fuel big conversations online, and right now those details are being read in whatever way fits the story people want to believe.
What Akanksha Chamola said at the premiere of Lock Upp Season 2 was simple and to the point: “Gaurav and I are getting a divorce. We have been living separately for the last one year, and it has not been public. Things are not bad between Gaurav and me. We still talk to each other. We just don’t think we are compatible as partners because we both see very different futures. And unfortunately, those futures are not with each other.”
