She shared that she had discussed this with Gaurav early in their marriage and believed he had accepted her decision at the time. However, she said their perspectives eventually changed, as Gaurav now wants to become a father while she continues to feel certain that motherhood is not the life she wants. Akanksha also revealed that she does not wish to adopt a child, adding that she envisions a future without children. She said she had told Gaurav that if becoming a parent was important to him, he should be free to make the choice that would make him happy.
