After Akanksha’s announcement, many people also started discussing Gaurav’s earlier interviews, where he had spoken about the couple having different views on becoming parents. However, neither Akanksha nor Gaurav has said that this was the reason behind their divorce. Akanksha has only stated that they realised they were not compatible and decided it was best to move on.
Gaurav Khanna, who is known for his work in Anupamaa and several other television shows, has not yet released a public statement about the divorce. His fans have been surprised by the news, especially because the couple had earlier denied reports of a separation.
Akanksha’s announcement has now confirmed the end of their marriage after years of being together. While the news has come as a shock to many, both actors have made it clear that their decision was mutual and that they continue to respect each other as they move forward with their lives.
