Ram Kapoor asks 'What does Gaurav Khanna do?'
Mumbai, July 9
Popular television actor Gaurav Khanna entered 'Lock Upp 2' as a special visitor on Thursday. However, it seems like contestant Ram Kapoor is unaware of who Gaurav is.
As Gaurav was greeting the contestants, Ram asked his cellmate Dheeraj Dhoopar, "What does he do?", to which Dheeraj replied, "He is an actor."
Ram then asked, "Is he well known though?", after which Dheeraj said 'Hmm'.
"Okay, I've never seen him before. But that's because I don't watch any content," Ram explained.
However, when Gaurav met Ram, it did not feel like they were meeting for the first time.
"Good to see you again. Looking fantastic," Ram is heard saying to Gaurav.
During the episode, Gaurav was also seen having a heart-to-heart conversation with his wife, Akanksha Chamola.
She even shared that Gaurav was already aware of her sexuality and had also accepted her for it.
When Jailer Farah Khan asked Gaurav, "When her second secret was revealed, I even asked her, 'Does Gaurav know about it?", Akanksha revealed that Gaurav was well aware of her secret.
"Yeah, he accepted me," she was heard saying.
Gaurav added that he believes in accepting someone wholeheartedly.
"I have always said that if you like someone like them completely. So, I have always been that guy," he said.
"He was very open-minded, He understood my feelings and everything and he accepted graciously," Akanksha praised Gaurav.
Akanksha left everyone shocked as she revealed on 'Lock Upp 2' that she is bisexual, and even had relationships with females before getting married to Gaurav.
She shared, "Main shaadi se pehle bisexual thi. Mere relations rahey hain kuch ladkiyo ke saath. Bohot zyaada intimate relations nahi rahe hain but I have been in relations with a few females (I was bisexual before marriage. I have been in relations with females, but they were not intimate)."

That's some serious emotional maturity from Gaurav. Accepting your partner for who they are, even after marriage, is not easy in our society where such topics are still taboo. But I'm curious — why did Akanksha choose to reveal this on a reality show rather than privately? Feels a bit staged for TRP, yaar.
Ram Kapoor is a veteran actor, so it's surprising he doesn't know Gaurav. But hey, to each their own! What stood out for me is Akanksha's courage to speak about her bisexuality on national TV. In India, where even discussing LGBTQ+ issues is difficult for many, this is a big step. Kudos to both of them for being so real! 👏
Um, is nobody talking about how weird it is that Akanksha shared such personal stuff about her sexuality on a show? I mean, good for them if they are comfortable, but why do we need to know all this? Some things are better kept private, na? 🤷♀️
Ram Kapoor's question "What does he do?" is pure gold! 😂 But on a serious note, Gaurav and Akanksha's story is beautiful. In a country where same-sex relationships are still criminalized in many minds, having a public figure openly accept his wife's bisexuality is a powerful message. This is how we normalise love in all its forms. 🌈
I appreciate Gaurav's open-mindedness, but I also understand Ram Kapoor —
