Akanksha Chamola, actress and wife of Anupamaa star Gaurav Khanna, has found herself at the centre of a social media controversy after a dance video featuring her went viral.

While Chamola is known for her vibrant social media presence and frequent reels, this specific post has triggered an unusually sharp divide among the couple’s fanbase.

 Akanksha Chamola’s Viral Dance Video Controversy

The controversy began when a video featuring Akanksha in high-energy, suggestive dance moves was reportedly filmed during a promotional event of the upcoming web series Dil, Dhoka Aur Desire. Clad in a red outfit, the actress performed a routine that many viewers felt was a departure from her usual content.

In the video, she can be seen dancing alongside her co-stars Kunwar Amar and Ali Hasan. The two actors share close dance moments with Aanksha, hugging her during the performance. Throughout the interaction, Aanksha is seen laughing and enjoying the moment, adding a playful and cheerful vibe to the video.

The video quickly went viral, but the engagement was largely characterised by disapproval.

Netizen Reactions

The comment sections on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) were quickly flooded with reactions ranging from disappointment to outright mockery. A significant portion of the backlash came from fans of Gaurav Khanna, many of whom expressed concern over how the video might impact his "family man" image cultivated through his role as Anuj Kapadia. Users even compared the incident to the Tara Sutaria and AP Dhillon's viral stage moment.

A user wrote, "Gaurav Khanna's wife's clip was 200 times more cheaper than Tara Sutaria's clip. What was she even?" Another wrote, "Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola will separate soon."
