Fresh off his victory in the Bigg Boss 19 finale on December 7, actor Gaurav Khanna has found himself playing a different kind of protective role—this time in the real world. During a recent interview with Hungamastudio, the actor addressed the wave of online trolling directed at his wife, Akanksha Chamola, after a video of her dancing at a private party surfaced online.
The “Controversial” Success Bash
The incident occurred at a success party hosted by Gaurav’s publicist to celebrate his triumph on the reality show. In the viral clip, Akanksha was seen enjoying herself and dancing with a group of women.
Social media critics quickly targeted her, but Gaurav was quick to clarify the context:
- The Dance Partners: Gaurav revealed that Akanksha was dancing with members of his publicist’s team—the very people who managed his campaign while he was inside the house.
- His Stance: “As I don’t enjoy dancing much, my wife felt she should join them and make the moment bigger. It was everyone’s victory,” Gaurav explained.
Gaurav’s Take on Social Media “Agendas”
The Anupamaa star remained unfazed by the negativity, suggesting that much of the trolling is orchestrated by fans of rival contestants.
“As far as trolls are concerned, I don’t get affected by them… They function with some agenda that will bring this couple down so that their favourite celebrity looks better,” Gaurav stated.
He further praised his wife’s personality, noting that her extroverted nature is something he “deeply admires and loves.” The couple, who married in November 2016 in Kanpur, have long been known for their supportive relationship.
