Why the couple doesn’t have children

Gaurav had said that since theirs is a love marriage, what she wants matters most and that love also means supporting each other’s choices.

Explaining further, he shared that Akanksha’s decision was practical, the couple does not want to bring a child into the world only to leave them with someone else while both parents work. It is important to them that if they become parents, they will be present and raise the child themselves.

However, the emotional reunion on Bigg Boss 19 hinted at a possible change of plans. While leaving, Akanksha was heard saying she is “already planning,” and Gaurav’s face instantly lit up, sparking excitement among fans.
