Akanksha Chamola Responds to Orry’s ‘Milking Gaurav Khanna’s Fame’ Remark

The ongoing conversation around Akanksha Chamola and Gaurav Khanna has taken another turn after social media personality Orry criticised Akanksha over her public comments about her marriage. Akanksha has now responded to the allegation, questioning whether a person can simply “borrow” someone else’s popularity.

Orry’s Comment Brings Fresh Attention

The controversy follows Akanksha’s appearance at the premiere of Lock Upp Season 2. She spoke about her strained relationship with Gaurav Khanna and revealed that the couple was heading towards divorce.

The comments quickly became a talking point online.

Orry subsequently defended Gaurav and criticised Akanksha in an Instagram comment. He accused her of “milking his fame” for views and claimed that he did not know Gaurav was married.

Orry also said he had shared a vanity van with Gaurav for a month during the filming of Khatron Ke Khiladi in Cape Town.

His remarks added another layer to an already public conversation about the couple’s relationship.

Akanksha Questions the Idea of ‘Borrowed Fame’

Speaking to Telly Masala, Akanksha rejected the suggestion that she was benefiting from Gaurav’s popularity.

She questioned how someone could use another person’s popularity simply by discussing their own personal experiences.

She also pointed to other celebrity relationships where family members have entered the public spotlight during separations and reality-show appearances.

Her argument was that public attention ultimately comes from audiences.

‘I Am Not Asking For Attention’

Akanksha also maintained that she has not actively sought the attention surrounding her.

She acknowledged that she is not claiming extraordinary celebrity status.

Instead, she said the audience itself is choosing to follow her story.

She described herself as grateful for the attention and support she has received.

Akanksha also said she was not particularly upset by Orry’s remarks. She maintained that people are entitled to their opinions.

The Creator-Audience Question

The exchange raises an interesting question about how fame works in the age of social media.

A public figure can attract attention because of their own identity. They can also become more visible because of their association with a better-known person.

The distinction becomes complicated when personal relationships enter the public conversation.

For creators and public figures, audience interest can quickly turn a personal development into widely consumed content.

In Akanksha’s case, her argument is straightforward.

She says the audience decides whether a story is worth watching.

Whether that attention represents an independent public profile or interest generated by her association with Gaurav remains open to interpretation.

For now, the disagreement has shifted the conversation from their relationship to a broader debate over fame, personal narratives and who gets to claim public attention.
