Akanksha Chamola Says She Has Become Asexual
During a heartfelt conversation with fellow contestant Varun Yadav on July 13, 2026, Akanksha Chamola opened up about her evolving perspective on relationships and intimacy. She explicitly stated, "I have become asexual. I don't feel like having sex with anyone. I don't even feel like touching anyone. I am very happy the way I am."
The 35-year-old actress elaborated on how her life experiences, particularly her ongoing divorce, have reshaped her understanding of sexuality. "Sexuality can change with different phases of life. Right now, I'm going through a divorce, and I don't want a sexual relationship with anyone. I don't want it with women or with men. This is the phase I'm in, and I call it being asexual," she explained. Chamola further conveyed that a "deep fear" has set in regarding marriage, asserting that she has no plans to remarry and is content with an independent life.
Akanksha Chamola's Earlier Revelation
Chamola's declaration of asexuality follows closely on the heels of another significant personal disclosure earlier in July 2026 on Lock Upp. She had previously revealed that she identified as bisexual before her marriage to Gaurav Khanna, and had been in relationships with women. This secret came to light after a fellow contestant, Shreya Kalra, revealed it on the show, prompting Akanksha to address it publicly. Crucially, Chamola shared that Gaurav Khanna was aware of her bisexuality prior to their wedding and had accepted her for who she was.

The couple, who married in November 2016, had been living separately for nearly a year before making the decision to part ways.
