Akanksha Chamola fears her third secret will create problems for her

As part of the latest task in Lock Upp, Riteish Deshmukh distributed keys to the inmates, with each key containing another contestant's secret. Shreya Kalra received Akanksha Chamola's secret, Ram Kapoor got Yogesh Rawat's secret, Shivangi Joshi received Shilpa Shinde's secret, and so on. The inmates must decide, one by one, whose secret they want to expose, putting that contestant at risk of missing out on the finale week.

During the episode, Akanksha was seen requesting Shreya not to reveal her secret. She said, "genuinely tell you I only have one secret left, please don't reveal it, I am counting on you. Don't break my trust sister."

After Harshad Chopda revealed Ram Kapoor's secret, Akanksha once again asked Shreya about her plan. Shreya replied that if no one else exposed Akanksha's secret, she definitely would because she did not believe Akanksha deserved to be in the finale, nor did she consider her a friend.

While speaking to Pamala, Akanksha said, "I am the one in danger, Shreya doesn't realise that I am a public figure no matter what, and my husband is a big name in the industry. We both are going to get publicly lynched. People will forget her, but they will remember Gaurav Khanna and me, and I am answerable to my entire family now."

She added, "Yeh jo third secret aayega, uske baad toh meri family mujhe thapad maar degi yaar, bolegi nikal hi jaa khandaan se aga tujhe kuch btaana hi nahi hai toh (Once this third secret comes out, my family will probably slap me. They'll say, 'Just leave the family if you're not going to tell us anything!')"

Akanksha's first secret was that she and Gaurav had been living separately for almost a year and were heading towards a divorce. However, when Gaurav visited her inside the Lock Upp house, he clarified that they had not yet started the legal process and had only discussed the possibility of divorce. He further stated that Akanksha was still his wife.

Her second secret was revealed by Shreya Kalra during the show. Shreya told Sufi Motiwala that Akanksha is bisexual. Later, Akanksha acknowledged it and revealed that, before her marriage, she had been in relationships with women as well.
