Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola
During Bigg Boss 19's heartfelt Family Week, actor Gaurav Khanna was reunited with his wife, Akanksha Chamola, in a deeply emotional moment that touched the hearts of viewers. In a promo aired by the show, the two shared a warm embrace inside the Bigg Boss house, culminating in a tender, romantic kiss - underscoring the deep bond and affection they share.
As she entered the house, she went on searching for Gaurav, Bigg Boss then released Gaurav and they shared a romantic moment. However, that wasn't it. As they entered the living area, Bigg Boss again asked them to freeze and he only released Akanksha. She then asked Bigg Boss to release him by saying, 'Release kardo warna main adult wali pappi kar dungi.' Bigg Boss asked Gaurav to stay in freeze state, seeing that Akanksha actually stole a kiss, leaving the housemates flipping in joy.
Gaurav has often spoken on the show about how much he misses Akanksha, expressing his longing for her throughout his stay. This reunion gives shape to all those emotions, making it one of the most touching moments of the season so far.
In one of the live feed moments, Gaurav and Mridul also had a conversation on how he has been missing Akanksha. Mridul even asked Gaurav to kiss their picture to which, he said, 'There is no fun or joy in kissing the picture. When Akanksha comes in the family week, I will kiss her in reality. That would more fun. Meri biwi hai, izhaar khul-e-aam karunga.'
Their connection runs deeper than a reality show appearance. Gaurav and Akanksha's love story began long before the cameras - meeting during auditions and growing from friendship into love. They tied the knot on November 23, 2016, in a private, heartfelt ceremony.
One of the most inspiring facets of their relationship is how they navigate differences with respect. Gaurav has shared his wish to have children someday, but Akanksha has been open about not feeling ready - or not wanting to. Instead of letting this become a source of conflict, they've discussed it thoughtfully and with mutual love. Gaurav remains understanding and patient, saying, "If we love each other, we must stay committed."
Akanksha's visit to the Bigg Boss house comes not long after she expressed her longing for Gaurav in a touching Karva Chauth note, where she poured out her love and how much she misses him. Their reunion on the show offers audiences a heartfelt look into their real-life bond - one built on trust, mutual respect, and genuine affection. Many fans find their relationship both grounding and uplifting, seeing in it a real-life love story that resonates far beyond television.
