Mumbai: Television actor Akanksha Chamola has candidly spoken about the reason behind her separation from actor Gaurav Khanna, revealing that their differing views on starting a family ultimately led to the end of their marriage.
In a recent interview, Akanksha said the decision to part ways was not driven by conflict or bitterness but by a fundamental difference in life goals.
“Gaurav wants to have kids. I can’t give him that,” she said, explaining that the issue became a major factor in their relationship.
Difference in Life Goals
Akanksha shared that while Gaurav wished to become a father, she did not see motherhood as part of her future. Recognising that neither of them should have to compromise on such a significant life decision, the couple chose to separate respectfully.
She emphasized that their divorce was a mutual decision made after careful thought and understanding of each other’s aspirations.
No Ill Feelings Between the Two
Despite ending their marriage, Akanksha said there is no resentment between them. She described Gaurav as a good person and wished him happiness in life.
The actor also acknowledged that differences over having children are deeply personal and can become a valid reason for couples to move in different directions.
Choosing Honesty Over Compromise
Akanksha explained that bringing a child into the world is a lifelong commitment and should never be done out of pressure or obligation. She believes it was better for both of them to be honest about their expectations rather than continue in a marriage where their future goals did not align.
Her comments have sparked discussions on social media about compatibility, personal choices, and the importance of respecting different life decisions within a relationship.
While the couple has gone their separate ways, Akanksha said she hopes Gaurav finds the future he dreams of, while she continues to focus on her own journey.
