Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola’s love story
Her love story with Gaurav Khanna has always fascinated fans. The actor once revealed on Celebrity MasterChef that their journey began during an audition, where he instantly felt drawn to her. Akanksha, however, had no idea about his interest. To break the ice, Gaurav pretended to be inexperienced and even introduced himself as “Rakesh”, a name she found outdated.
When she prepared to leave for another audition, he offered her a ride and dropped her off. Before she stepped out, he asked her to Google him. She smiled, and Gaurav jokingly recalled telling her: “Hasee toh phasee. Main phas gaya.”
