Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa contestant Akanksha Chamola made an unexpected remark during a conversation with her housemates after the family visit segment. Reflecting on her estranged husband Gaurav Khanna's surprise appearance on the show, Akanksha said she would have preferred seeing her parents, or even her dog instead, explaining that she was looking for comfort more than anything else.

In the latest episode, Vinny Arora entered the Lock Upp house to meet husband Dheeraj Dhoopar, leaving the contestants emotional. After Vinny's exit, Shreya Kalra said she wished her boyfriend could visit too, prompting Akanksha to joke, "Mine was an ex."

She then shared that while she appreciated the gesture, she would have found more comfort in seeing a family member—or even her dog—than Gaurav Khanna.

Akanksha added, "Usse (Gaurav) zyada mujhe family mein se koi aata to better tha" (I wish someone from my family had come). When Shreya asked why, Akanksha said, "I wanted my comfort, na. Basically, more for me than for him. I would have preferred agar meri mummy ya papa koi aate, ya mera kutta hi aa jata" (I would have preferred it if my mother or father had come, or even my dog)."

Akanksha has been one of the most candid contestants on Lock Upp. When she entered the show, she said that she and Gaurav were getting divorced and had been living separately for a year, while adding that there was no bitterness between them. She had said, 'There is nothing bad between Gaurav and me. We still talk to each other, but we feel that we are not right for each other as partners. That is because we both want different things in life.'

Later in the show, Akanksha also revealed that she is bisexual and that she had been in relationships with women before marrying Gaurav. Amid these revelations, Gaurav entered the show as her visitor, and Akanksha became teary-eyed on seeing him. He also clarified that he and Akanksha are not legally divorced.

The episode brought together Vinny and Dheeraj's emotional reunion and a light-hearted but revealing exchange between Shreya, Shilpa and Akanksha, while again drawing attention to Akanksha's relationship with Gaurav.
