Akanksha Chamola hit back at fellow contestant Shreya Kalra after the latter claimed on Lock Upp that Akanksha and her husband, actor Gaurav Khanna, were headed for a permanent divorce. The remark sparked a heated confrontation inside the reality show, with Akanksha firmly denying the allegation and accusing Shreya of spreading baseless rumours about her personal life.

The controversy unfolded during a tense exchange when Shreya suggested that Akanksha and Gaurav's marriage was over for good. Visibly upset, Akanksha confronted her, asking why she was discussing a relationship she knew nothing about. She insisted that marital issues are deeply personal and should never be used as ammunition during arguments or reality show conflicts.
