Lock Upp 2: Akanksha Chamola Says She Would Prefer Her Mom, Dad or Even Pet Dog Over Gaurav Khanna
Reality show Lock Upp 2 continues to make headlines for its emotional revelations and unexpected moments. The latest episode sparked fresh conversations after contestant Akanksha Chamola made a blunt remark about her estranged husband, actor Gaurav Khanna , who recently entered the house as part of a special family interaction.
During a conversation with fellow contestants, Akanksha revealed that she would have preferred to see her mother, father, or even her pet dog instead of Gaurav. Her comments quickly went viral on social media, with viewers expressing mixed reactions.
"I Wanted Someone Who Comforted Me"
The conversation unfolded after contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar's wife Vinny Arora visited the Lock Upp 2 house. While discussing the emotional family visits with contestants Shreya Kalra and Shilpa Shinde, Akanksha joked that unlike others, a "stranger" had come to meet her.
Referring to Gaurav Khanna, she remarked that she would have felt far more comforted if her parents had visited instead. She then added that even her pet dog would have been a better choice, saying she needed emotional support for herself rather than a meeting with someone from whom she has emotionally moved on.
She said that at such an emotionally demanding stage of the competition, she would naturally have wanted someone from her immediate family—people who make her feel safe and supported. According to her, the visit was more meaningful for contestants who were still in happy relationships, whereas her circumstances were very different.
In subsequent episodes, she explained that one of the major reasons behind their separation was their differing views on having children. Akanksha shared that she realized she did not wish to become a mother, while Gaurav eventually wanted to start a family. She clarified that the decision to separate was mutual and based on multiple personal differences rather than a single issue.
Some social media users felt her remarks about preferring her pet dog over Gaurav were unnecessarily harsh, especially considering Gaurav had entered the house to encourage her. Others defended the actress, arguing that since the couple has already separated, it is understandable that she would seek comfort from her parents or her beloved pet instead of an estranged spouse. Discussions across fan forums reflect both perspectives, with many debating whether her comments were insensitive or simply an honest expression of her feelings.
