Television actor Gaurav Khanna revealed that his wife Akanksha Chamola has chosen not to have children, even after nine years of marriage. The couple married in 2016 and have openly discussed their family plans on the reality show Bigg Boss 19, where Khanna is a contestant.
Khanna said that while he personally desires fatherhood, he respects his wife’s decision and supports her viewpoint completely. Chamola stated her reluctance stems from concern over parenting responsibilities, especially since both she and her husband maintain demanding work schedules. The couple emphasised that there is no medical issue behind their choice—rather it is a mutual decision aligned with their lifestyle and commitments.
The disclosure has sparked wider conversation about evolving family norms in Indian entertainment, especially for television actors whose professional lives often involve long hours, frequent travel and public scrutiny. Observers note that the couple’s transparency has been applauded for drawing attention to the idea that parenthood is a personal choice rather than an expectation.
