If you follow Hindi GECs, you know Gaurav Khanna as the charming and respectful Anuj Kapadia. But recently, the actor had to step out of his character’s shoes to protect his family. His wife, actress Akanksha Chamola, has been the target of relentless trolling—often by “fans” who struggle to digest her professional choices or her modern lifestyle compared to Gaurav’s traditional on-screen persona.
The Breaking Point The trolling intensified following some of Akanksha’s recent professional projects and bold photoshoots. In a candid conversation, Gaurav expressed his frustration with how “fandoms” can sometimes turn toxic. He pointed out that while he appreciates the love for his character, it shouldn’t give anyone the right to intrude into his personal life or disrespect his partner.
“Acting is a Job, Not Our Identity” Gaurav’s message was loud and clear: Akanksha is an independent individual and a talented artist. He emphasized that being in the entertainment industry requires a thick skin, but personal attacks based on “bold scenes” or “outfits” are simply uncalled for. He reminded fans that what they see on Anupama country is a scripted performance, but his marriage and his wife’s career are private and professional realities that deserve respect.
Standing by His Partner What resonated most with fans was Gaurav’s unwavering support. He made it clear that he is proud of Akanksha’s work and that they make decisions as a team. By speaking out, he has joined a growing list of TV actors who are drawing a hard line between their professional fame and their family’s peace of mind.
In an age where “shipping” actors often leads to the harassment of their real-life partners, Gaurav Khanna’s stand is a much-needed reality check for the internet.
