What did Gaurav Khanna say?

After winning, Gaurav Khanna addressed the backlash related to a comment about his wife, Akanksha Chamola’s decision not to have children. Some people accused him of “throwing his wife under the bus,” but Gaurav strongly denied the allegation. He said, “I have no qualms talking about it. I am proud that this question is being asked. Firstly, I never threw my wife under the bus. If I had to do it it’s been nine years since I got married. If I had to take sympathy, maybe I would have done it eight or nine years ago. I am proud that my wife has made a decision. And I am equally happy that I was able to keep her decision ahead of me. I have that much courage to put my wife ahead of me. There are very few such husbands.”

Gaurav explained that he respects his wife’s decision completely and feels proud to stand beside her. He added that if even a few husbands support their partners in the same way, it would make the world a better place. According to him, every woman has the right to decide whether she wants to become a mother and the timeline for it. He clarified that his support is genuine, and if people interpret it differently, then the misunderstanding lies with them.
