Days after revealing on Lock Upp 2 that she and actor Gaurav Khanna are heading for divorce, Akanksha Chamola has made a public appeal to Instagram for help. The actor shared that she has been unable to change her username despite several attempts and requested assistance from Meta and Instagram teams. Her post has drawn attention as it comes soon after she disclosed that the couple has been living separately for the past year. Akanksha also reflected on her future during the reality show, saying she now plans to embrace an independent life on her own terms ahead.
Instagram Username Issue
Akanksha Chamola took to Instagram Stories to explain that she has been facing difficulties changing her account username. Tagging Meta, Meta India and Instagram, she wrote, “seeking urgent assistance for username change. Due to the current verification-related restrictions, we have been unable to change the username despite multiple attempts.”

She also requested the platforms to review the matter and suggest a possible solution. While her profile name reads “Akanksha Chamola”, her current Instagram username continues to be ‘akankshagkhanna’.
Divorce And Fresh Start
During her stint on Lock Upp 2, Akanksha revealed that she and Gaurav Khanna have been living separately for nearly a year and are in the process of ending their marriage. Speaking about her future, she said, “I think I am done. But for the first time in my life, main akeli rehne waali hoon. Like, not under my parents’ roof or my husband’s roof.” She added that she plans to live independently and has no intention of marrying again.
Personal Confessions On Lock Upp 2
The actress also made several personal revelations during the reality show. She shared that motherhood was not something she ultimately saw for herself, despite being open to the idea earlier. Akanksha also spoke candidly about her sexuality, saying, “Mujhe ladkiya pasand hain. Main admire karti hoon, main attract hoti hoon unki taraf. I think woh mera safe space hai.”
She was last seen on Lock Upp 2, which streamed on Netflix from June 27 to August 5, with Shreya Kalra emerging as the winner. Akanksha Chamola’s latest Instagram appeal has added another chapter to the personal changes she has openly discussed in recent weeks, as she looks to move forward with a new phase in her life.
