"For me, it is a very devastating secret."
Akanksha Chamola became emotional during the latest episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa.
This came just days after she publicly revealed that she and her husband, Gaurav Khanna, are divorcing.
The 35-year-old actor broke down while reflecting on the deeply personal disclosure she made.
She called the announcement on the reality show’s premiere a “very devastating secret” overall.
Chamola surprised viewers by announcing that she and Gaurav had decided to end their marriage.
The couple had been together for nearly nine years before making the difficult decision.
She struggled to hold back tears during the third episode of the competition.
She spoke about the emotional toll of revealing her private life on national television.
Fellow contestants gathered around her and worked to comfort her during the difficult moment.
Her breakdown comes shortly after she revealed that she and Gaurav have been living separately.
They have been living apart for the past year without making the situation public.
Speaking on the third day of the competition, Chamola admitted that opening up was difficult.
She discussed the show’s format and how other contestants might view her personal revelation.
Referring to the competition structure, she said many believed contestants like her deserved to be safe.
Harshad Chopda was mentioned as another contestant who had revealed significant personal secrets.
She insisted, however, that her decision had come at a huge emotional cost overall:
“It is not easy for us to be safe. I have revealed a very big secret.
“It is easy for people to say that the three contestants should have been saved, but for me, this secret is life-changing.
“Once everyone goes outside, they will understand what this secret means. For me, it is a very devastating secret.”
Chamola covered her face as she cried openly before her fellow contestants.
During the season premiere, Chamola disclosed that she and Gaurav Khanna were getting divorced formally.
However, they had chosen not to make their separation public until appearing on the show.
Despite the separation, she clarified that there was no bitterness between them whatsoever.
“Things are not bad between me and Gaurav. We still talk to each other.
“We don’t think we are compatible as partners because we both see a very different future.”
“And, unfortunately, it’s not with each other.”
Gaurav Khanna has not publicly responded to Akanksha Chamola’s statement about the divorce so far.
The actor is currently participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 as an active contestant.
