Television actress Akanksha Chamola has opened up about life after her separation from actor Gaurav Khanna, making it clear that marriage is no longer on her list of priorities. Currently seen on Lock Upp, Akanksha candidly shared that she has no plans to remarry and is instead looking forward to embracing her independence.
During a conversation on the reality show, Akanksha admitted that while many people assume she will eventually settle down again, she feels differently. "Main akeli rehni waali hoon. Main shaadi nahi karungi dobara," she said, adding that she is content with the idea of living on her own rather than entering another relationship.
The actress explained that, after everything she has experienced, she wants to focus on herself. She shared that she is not emotionally prepared to fall in love again and would rather enjoy the freedom that comes with this new phase of life. "I'm not ready to fall in love again. I want to enjoy my freedom," Akanksha remarked during the conversation, reflecting on her current mindset.
Akanksha had previously revealed on Lock Upp that she and Gaurav Khanna are heading for divorce after nearly a decade of marriage. She disclosed that the two have been living separately for the past year, though they had chosen to keep the matter private until now. Despite the separation, she maintained that there is no bitterness between them.
Speaking about their decision, Akanksha said, "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."
Her latest remarks indicate that she is determined to move forward on her own terms rather than rush into another relationship. Instead of searching for a new partner, Akanksha believes this chapter of her life is about rediscovering herself and enjoying her independence.
The actress' candid confessions have sparked conversations among fans, many of whom have praised her honesty about choosing solitude over societal expectations. While her divorce from Gaurav continues to make headlines, Akanksha appears focused on healing, personal growth and building a life that aligns with her own aspirations rather than conforming to conventional ideas about marriage.
