Akanksha Chamola Says Bigg Boss 20 Is A Hard No, But Her Gaurav Khanna And Shreya Kalra Revelations Are Turning Heads

Akanksha Chamola has made it clear that she’s not looking to jump from one reality show to another anytime soon. After her time on Lock Upp 2, she’s firmly ruled out the idea of stepping into Bigg Boss 20, and her reasoning is pretty straightforward: she’s just done with the whole captive reality scene for now.

 

Having been one of the standout contestants on Lock Upp 2, Akanksha admitted that the experience really took a toll on her. She even joked that if she struggled to get through 30 days in Lock Upp, surviving around 90 days in the Bigg Boss house would be nearly impossible for her.

This makes her decision all the more intriguing, especially since reality TV often thrives on contestants returning when they’re in the spotlight. Akanksha seems to be taking a different path, opting for a breather instead of diving headfirst into another controversial show.

That said, she hasn’t completely shut the door on reality TV. When asked about Khatron Ke Khiladi, Akanksha sounded much more receptive. She thinks the stunt-based format could actually be a lot of fun for her, as it offers a refreshing change from being cooped up in a house and constantly navigating relationships, nominations, and drama.

 

Her thoughts on Lock Upp 2 are where things get particularly juicy. Akanksha didn’t hold back when she described Shreya Kalra as the most evil person she encountered on the show. She mentioned feeling more disappointed than hurt by their fallout, especially since Shreya was the one who initially reached out to her for friendship, making the eventual breakdown of their relationship all the more confusing.

The biggest challenge for her seems to be the exposure of a personal secret. Akanksha felt that something she had confided in private shouldn’t have been dragged into the game just because Shreya was feeling hurt about her nomination. This kind of drama is exactly what makes reality TV so unpredictable. Friendships can shift dramatically when personal dynamics clash with the intense pressure of competition.

 

Another twist in Akanksha's Lock Upp 2 saga involves Gaurav Khanna. Even though they are currently separated, Gaurav made an appearance on the show, but Akanksha doesn’t view it as the supportive gesture that some fans might think it is.

 

She’s been quite vocal about not wanting someone she’s separating from to show up on the show under the guise of support. To her, his presence felt more like an attempt to salvage his own reputation rather than a genuine show of solidarity.

 

This adds yet another layer to an already tangled situation. Reality shows often turn personal relationships into dramatic moments, but Akanksha’s remarks indicate that not every emotional gesture is perceived the same way by the person at the center of it all.

 

For now, it seems that Bigg Boss 20 is definitely off Akanksha Chamola's radar. However, given the buzz her Lock Upp 2 journey has generated, it would be quite a surprise if reality TV stopped keeping tabs on her anytime soon.
