Gaurav Khanna is one of the biggest names of Indian television, whose fame skyrocketed when he essayed the role of ‘Anuj Kapadia’ in Anupamaa. The actor grew even more popular when he won two shows, Celebrity MasterChef and Bigg Boss 19. Gaurav has been a part of the television industry for decades, from kids to their grandmas recognising him at a glance. Besides his career, his personal life with his nine-year-younger wife, Akanksha Chamola, is also widely discussed.
Recently, in June 2026, Akanksha revealed on Lock Upp 2 that she and Gaurav have been estranged for a year and are headed for divorce. Amid the intense scrutiny and unfounded rumours surrounding the duo, her father reportedly broke his silence.

Ever since Akanksha Chamola announced the end of her 10-year marriage to Gaurav Khanna, it has sparked intense discussion among online creators and media personnel. One such journalist put out an Instagram reel about Akanksha’s explosive revelation: her meeting with Gaurav during her Bigg Boss 19 visit in the family week, and her not accompanying him to his Kanpur house after the show’s conclusion. At the end of the video, the journalist asked whether relationships break that easily.
