Orhan Awatramani, better known as Orry, has strongly defended his Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 co-contestant Gaurav Khanna against his estranged wife Akanksha Chamola. Orry accused Chamola of damaging Khanna’s reputation and using his popularity to get attention online.
The controversy started when Akanksha Chamola publicly announced on Lock Upp – Sach Ya Sazaa that she and Gaurav Khanna are getting divorced after nearly a decade of marriage. Following this, Shagun Sharma, another contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, also made claims that Gaurav bullied her during the show’s filming in Cape Town.
Orry, who shared a vanity van with Gaurav Khanna for a month during the shoot, responded strongly to an Instagram post that highlighted negative comments made by both Akanksha and Shagun.
Orry’s Strong Words Against Akanksha Chamola
Orry did not hold back in his criticism. He wrote a detailed comment on the Instagram post, directly calling out Akanksha Chamola for her actions.
“She is just blackening his good name and milking his fame for her own views. No one knows who she is. I didn’t even know he was married, and we shared a vanity together for a month in Cape Town during KKK filming.”
He went further and labelled her behaviour as unacceptable.
“This is complete shameless behaviour to test and take advantage of a good man. This girl is a real snake in the grass.”
Orry’s comments made it clear that he believes Akanksha is deliberately trying to harm Gaurav’s image for her own benefit. He pointed out that she was relatively unknown before making these statements about her famous husband.
Orry Defends Gaurav Against Shagun Sharma’s Bullying Claims
Besides addressing Akanksha, Orry also responded to Shagun Sharma’s allegations that Gaurav bullied her during Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. Shagun had previously said in an interview that Gaurav would often pick on her during tasks, calling her “weak” and saying “she gives up”.
Orry dismissed these claims by revealing his own experience with Shagun on the show.
“I am pretty sure I bullied her more during KKK, and we are still good friends. It’s just fun to bully her because she gives good reactions, and we needed entertainment.”
Orry explained that the teasing on the show was part of the entertainment and not actual bullying. He mentioned that despite his own behaviour towards her, they remain friends, suggesting that Shagun’s comments about Gaurav might be exaggerated.
The Background of Gaurav Khanna and Akanksha Chamola’s Divorce
Gaurav Khanna, known for his role in the popular TV show Anupamaa, and Akanksha Chamola got married on November 24, 2016, in Kanpur. Their wedding was a lavish three-day celebration.
The news of their separation came as a shock to many fans. Akanksha revealed on the premiere of Lock Upp season 2 that they have been living separately for the past year. She also shared that the main reason for their divorce is a disagreement about having children. Gaurav wanted kids, while Akanksha was not ready to become a mother.
Akanksha also made headlines when she said she would rather meet her dog than Gaurav on the show, which led to heavy backlash from fans. Many viewers accused her of using Gaurav’s name to stay relevant on Lock Upp.
Later, Akanksha clarified that her divorce is genuine and not a publicity stunt. She stated that the legal process is almost complete and they just need to sign the final papers.
The Same Talent Agency Connection
An interesting detail that emerged from the controversy is that both Akanksha Chamola and Shagun Sharma are represented by the same talent agency. This fact was highlighted in the Instagram post that Orry responded to.
This connection has led to speculation among fans about whether the negative comments against Gaurav were coordinated. However, there has been no official confirmation of any such plan.
Fan Reactions to the Controversy
The ongoing drama has sparked strong reactions from fans on social media. Many supporters of Gaurav Khanna have come out in his defence, criticising Akanksha for repeatedly mentioning him in public.
Some social media users have called Akanksha a “fame digger” and accused her of trying to gain popularity by dragging Gaurav’s name into the spotlight. One user wrote that she should stop using Gaurav’s name because her game on Lock Upp has nothing else to offer.
On the other hand, some people have supported Akanksha’s right to speak about her personal life and the reasons for her divorce. The debate continues to heat up on various platforms.

As of now, Gaurav Khanna has not directly responded to Orry’s comments or the ongoing controversy. He is currently focused on his participation in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.
Akanksha Chamola, meanwhile, continues to be a part of Lock Upp – Sach Ya Sazaa. She has also recently asked Instagram and Meta for help to change her username from ‘akankshagkhanna’ to drop Gaurav’s surname.
Orry’s strong defence of Gaurav has added another layer to this already complicated personal drama. His words have certainly given Gaurav’s supporters more reasons to believe that the actor is being treated unfairly.
