Bigg Boss 19: Gaurav Khanna Reveals He Wants Kids but Says Wife Akanksha ‘Not Ready Yet’

The drama inside the Bigg Boss 19 house continues to stir conversations, and this time it was popular television actor Gaurav Khanna who opened up about his personal life. In a heartfelt moment during the latest episode of Salman Khan’s reality show, the Anupamaa fame actor revealed that he wishes to have children but his wife, Akanksha Chamola, is not ready for that responsibility yet.

Gaurav Khanna Opens Up About Parenthood

In a candid conversation with fellow contestant and YouTuber Mridul Tiwari, Gaurav shared his feelings about family planning. Sitting in the garden area of the Bigg Boss house, the Celebrity MasterChef winner admitted:

“I have been married for nine years now, but we don’t have kids because I respect my wife’s wishes. For a long time, I really wanted children, but Akanksha wasn’t ready. Over time, I understood her point of view. Jab pyaar kiya hai toh nibhana padega na (When you love someone, you have to stand by them).”

His statement highlighted the importance of understanding and compromise in marriage, resonating with many viewers who praised him for respecting his partner’s decision.

Why Akanksha is Hesitant About Parenthood

Further elaborating, Gaurav explained that raising a child is a huge responsibility. He acknowledged that both he and his wife are deeply invested in their professional lives, which makes it difficult to commit to parenthood at this stage.

“A child is not just about joy but also about responsibility. I work all day, and if Akanksha is also working, who will take care of the child? It wouldn’t feel right to leave such an important responsibility in someone else’s hands,” Gaurav said.

Responding to this, Mridul suggested that perhaps in a couple of years, the situation might change and the couple might reconsider the idea of expanding their family.
