Akanksha Chamola Opened Up On Getting Divorce
According to Akanksha, she never experienced the desire to become a mother, even during the early years of her marriage. “When we were married, I never felt a maternal instinct. However, I was always open to exploring the idea and never suppressed it. Gradually, I realized I wasn’t cut out for it, and he didn’t have an issue with that either. But I think that mindset changed over time,” she said. Akanksha went on to explain that their outlook on having children eventually became different.

“Now, he wants to have children, and I cannot give him that. I don’t have a maternal instinct; I stated that a long time ago. The moment I realized I wasn’t meant for it, I made it clear that I wouldn’t go down that path,” she shared. She further revealed that she had told Gaurav he was free to leave the marriage if becoming a father was important to him. Reflecting on the situation, Akanksha said that many people choose marriage with the hope of building a family, and she understood why their differing expectations could not be reconciled.
