The announcement came as a shock to host Farah Khan and many of the couple's fans.

Akanksha and Gaurav, who married for love in November 2016, were together for more than nine years before confirming their separation.

Last week, during the show's "Judgement Day" episode, Akanksha made another personal revelation by sharing that she is bisexual and had been in relationships with women before marrying Gaurav.

The reality show features contestants including Akanksha Chaudhary, Yogesh Rawat, Sunita Ahuja, Ram Kapoor, Shreya Kalra, Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopra, Sufi Motiwala, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Madhuri Jain Grover, Riyaz Aly and Varun Yadav, also known as Laila.

The original season of "Lock Upp", hosted by Kangana Ranaut in 2022, was won by Munawar Faruqui, with Karan Kundrra serving as the jailor. The new season features 14 contestants, two jailers and a six-week competition in which inmates must complete tasks to earn in-game currency for essentials such as food, supplies and special privileges.
