A short clip of television actress Akanksha Chamola dancing very intimately with her co-actor for the promotional campaign of the web series Dil Dhokha Aur Desire has gone viral gaining millions of views overnight.
The video was widely shared on Instagram and other social media platforms in a very negative limelight on February 6, 2026. The clip has sparked criticism and trolling from netizens, who labelled it “Chapri“, a slang term often used for content that is overly flashy or attention-seeking. Many of these comments focused on the style and closeness of Akansha with the two co-stars rather than the series itself.
Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna: Divorce Rumours
Gaurav Khanna, best known for his role as Anuj Kapadi in Anupama got married to Akansha Chamola in 2016. But for the past few years fans on social media have noticed the weird dynamic of their relationship and even the divorce between the two often resurfaces.
The recent dance clip brought her under negative limelight again which also led to their divorce rumour despite Akanksha calling those rumours baseless in an interview and saying that her professional life is not tied to her personal life.
She emphasised how actors often shoot romantic or intimate scenes as a part of work, and that does not reflect their personal life relationship.
Public Reaction and Trolling
Audience shared their mixed opinion on social media where some fans defended Akanksha saying “actors should be free to perform promotional content without judgement.” Others criticised the clip without considering its context and linked it to the ongoing divorce rumours suggesting her cosy dance with co-actors was proof of personal issues despite Gaurav and Akanksha denying the rumours.
About Dil Dhokha aur Desire
The upcoming web series is bold, dramatic, and romantic storytelling. And the viral clip was a part of the promotion to generate interest among audiences ahead of its release.
In the age of social media, short videos go viral, sometimes even without context, gaining both positive and negative reactions. When scenes involve intimacy or closeness, some viewers blur the line between performance and reality, leading to misinterpretations and affecting a person’s image.
Akanksha has been experiencing the same hate and trolling for quite some time, which makes this situation even more saddening and concerning.
