Bigg Boss 19 contestant Baseer Ali has come out in support of Lock Upp 2 contestant Akanksha Chamola, who has grabbed headlines after revealing two major secrets from her personal life on the reality show. Akanksha shared that she and her husband, Gaurav Khanna, are heading for a divorce. She also revealed that she identified as bisexual before marriage and had dated women in the past. Her revelations sparked massive discussions online and also invited trolling.
The latest episode of Lock Upp 2 featured an emotional reunion between Akanksha and Gaurav Khanna. During his visit, Gaurav informed her that her personal confessions had become major headlines outside the house. He also shared that people have questioned and trolled both of them over the reason behind their divorce. The conversation left Akanksha emotional, and she broke down in tears after hearing about the public reaction.
Akanksha has also faced challenges inside the house. Recently, contestant Shreya Kalra allegedly attacked her during an argument.
Amid all the criticism, Baseer Ali extended his support to Akanksha during a recent interaction with the paparazzi. Praising her honesty, he said, “Akanksha Chamola is the most real person on Lock Upp. My heart goes out for her. Big support to her. Jo bhi hai, real hai. Reality show mein real logon ki aajkal kami hai and she is one of them. I think unko support karna chahiye. Unke liye bahut difficult ho rahi hai ye journey. Day one se do sach unhone khol diye hain. Unke dost zyada ban nahi rahe. Unke dost unke peeche unki burayi kar rahe hain. I feel she is a sweetheart and she should be given all the love and support.”
Interestingly, Baseer Ali and Gaurav Khanna participated in the same season of Bigg Boss 19, where Gaurav emerged as the winner. Baseer’s support for Akanksha has now resonated with many viewers, who believe she has stayed honest despite facing emotional setbacks, online criticism, and challenges inside the Lock Upp 2 house.
