Actor Akanksha Chamola, who is married to television star Gaurav Khanna, has once again found herself in the spotlight. The actress has been busy promoting her upcoming project Dil Dhokha Aur Desire, but a promotional video from the show’s launch event has sparked heavy trolling on social media.
The video, which is from the project launch held on February 5, shows Akanksha dancing on stage with her co-stars Kunwar Amar and Ali Hasan. In the clip, she is first seen dancing with Kunwar Amar when Ali Hasan suddenly pulls her towards him, leading to a close dance moment. Kunwar Amar then joins in, hugging Akanksha from behind while she continues dancing. Throughout the performance, Akanksha is seen smiling and laughing.
Soon after the video went viral, netizens began reacting strongly to it. Many users compared the moment to a previous on-stage incident involving singer AP Dhillon and actor Tara Sutaria. Some even dragged Akanksha’s personal life into the discussion, with a few users speculating about trouble in her marriage with Gaurav Khanna. Harsh comments were posted online, with trolls calling the act “cheap” and unnecessary.
This comes just days after rumours about problems in Akanksha and Gaurav’s marriage surfaced online. However, the actress had earlier dismissed such claims and clarified that everything was fine between them.
In a recent interview with FilmiBeat, Akanksha also spoke about performing intimate scenes on screen. She explained that actors go through workshops before shooting such scenes to understand each other’s comfort levels. According to her, trust, professionalism, and mutual respect are very important, which is why such scenes are usually shot after actors become comfortable with one another.
Despite the trolling, Akanksha continues to focus on her work and promotions, making it clear that she takes her profession seriously.
