Farah discussed Akanksha’s gameplay on Lock Upp, pointing out that there appeared to be two distinct phases, before and after Gaurav’s entry. She then asked Akanksha if anything had happened between them after she left the couple alone in the jailer’s room to talk things out. Akanksha admitted that Gaurav’s entry and the information he shared had affected her gameplay.

Farah, however, went on to praise Gaurav as a husband and said, "I love Gaurav, he is a wonderful guy. He is also a very good husband. Aise bahut kum husbands milte hain (You rarely find husbands like him), he has taken you for what you are and I think that's a very nice example to tell."

Akanksha had revealed at the premiere of Lock Upp that she and Gaurav were heading for divorce. Later, her secret about being bisexual was revealed on the show. Gaurav subsequently entered the show as a guest and spoke to Akanksha. He told her that her secrets had shaken the family and revealed that he had not yet signed the divorce papers.

On the show, Akanksha also opened up about the reason behind their decision to divorce. She revealed that she did not want to have children and did not even want to adopt, as she wanted to remain child-free, while Gaurav wanted to have kids.
