The controversy began after Akanksha appeared in a post-show conversation with Tejasswi Prakash, where the two discussed her views on sexuality.

Tejasswi Prakash Questions Akanksha's Statement

During the conversation, Tejasswi Prakash tried to explain that sexual orientation is not generally understood as a temporary phase.

However, Akanksha stood by her opinion and said that emotional, mental, and physical experiences can affect how a person feels about relationships.

According to Akanksha, a person may reach a stage where they do not want a physical relationship but still seek an emotional connection.

She also said that because of her current personal circumstances, she considers herself asexual, while explaining her views on sexuality.

Social Media Users Criticise Her Remarks

Soon after clips of the interview were shared on social media, many users criticised Akanksha's comments.

Several people argued that describing sexuality as "a phase" could be hurtful to members of the LGBTQ+ community, who have spent years advocating for recognition and acceptance of different sexual orientations.

Many users also said public figures should be careful while discussing sensitive topics related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

Some comments called for better awareness and education on the subject, while others felt Akanksha's remarks could spread misinformation.

Some Users Offered a Different Perspective

While most reactions were critical, a few users suggested that Akanksha may have been trying to describe changes in her personal feelings rather than making a broader statement about everyone's sexuality.

Some also pointed out that sexuality and personal experiences can be discussed with greater clarity to avoid misunderstandings.

The discussion has since grown into a wider conversation about the importance of using accurate language when speaking about sexuality and identity.

Akanksha's Personal Revelations on Lock Upp

During her time on Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, Akanksha Chamola made several personal revelations.

She disclosed that she and actor Gaurav Khanna were going through a separation, a fact she said was previously known only to their families.

Later in the show, fellow contestant Shreya Kalra revealed Akanksha's bisexuality during an argument. Akanksha later stated that she had identified as bisexual before her marriage and, during the course of the show, also described herself as asexual while speaking about her current emotional state.

Her latest comments after leaving the show have reignited discussions online, with opinions divided between those defending her personal experiences and those who believe her statements about sexuality were inaccurate and insensitive.
