Gaurav Khanna, a popular television actor, is currently making waves in Bigg Boss 19. However, it's not just his performance in the reality show that's attracting attention, but also the perceived lack of support from his wife, actress Akanksha Chamola, who is nine years younger than him. This has sparked considerable discussion among viewers and media outlets alike.
Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola's love story began unconventionally. They first met during an audition, where Gaurav, feigning inexperience, sought acting tips from Akanksha. This initial interaction blossomed into friendship, followed by a romantic relationship, culminating in a proposal with 100 balloons and a wedding on November 23, 2016, in Gaurav's hometown of Kanpur. The age gap of nine years has never been a point of contention for the couple; Akanksha has mentioned in interviews that their personalities complement each other, with her spontaneity balancing Gaurav's calm demeanor.
However, Gaurav's journey in Bigg Boss 19 has brought their relationship under public scrutiny. While other contestants' spouses have been actively vocal in their support, Akanksha's relative silence has been interpreted by some as a lack of support. This perception has fueled speculation and commentary across social media platforms, with many questioning the state of their marriage.
Adding fuel to the fire are comments made by fellow Bigg Boss 19 contestants, who have subtly alluded to a possible disconnect between Gaurav and Akanksha. While no direct accusations have been made, the undertones have been enough to ignite further debate among viewers.
It's important to note that Akanksha Chamola has been in the spotlight since Gaurav Khanna entered Bigg Boss 19. Born and raised in Mumbai, she made her television debut in 2015 with Swaragini and has since appeared in shows like Bhootu (2017), Can You See Me? (2022), and Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye.
Despite the rumors and speculation, there has been no official statement from either Gaurav or Akanksha regarding any marital discord. It is possible that Akanksha's silence is a deliberate strategy to avoid unnecessary media attention or to allow Gaurav to navigate the Bigg Boss house without external interference. It could also simply be that she prefers to offer support privately.
Notably, other instances of spouses showing support to their partners in Bigg Boss have surfaced. For example, Shrutika Arjun's husband, Arjun Raaj, has publicly supported her amid her Bigg Boss 18 stint. He lauded her for calling out Shilpa Shirodkar's double standards and expressed his pride in her unfiltered and true gameplay. Similarly, when Shrutika felt lonely after a fallout with friends, Arjun expressed his heartache and support on social media. In another instance, Vivian Dsena's wife, Nouran Aly, defended him against contestants labeling him as having a 'black heart' in Bigg Boss 18. She also cautioned Karan Veer Mehra against involving Vivian's family in the show's drama. These instances highlight the varied ways spouses choose to support their partners on the show.
Ultimately, the truth behind Akanksha's perceived lack of support remains a matter of speculation. Whether it's a strategic decision, a personal preference, or an indication of underlying issues, only time will tell how this narrative unfolds both inside and outside the Bigg Boss 19 house.
