It's been revealed on the show that Gaurav faced deceit from his own people. A close friend committed fraud against him, making it tough to recover. During these times, his wife Akanksha Chamola stood by him. Although Akanksha is nine years younger, her maturity exceeded her age during trying times. To support Gaurav, Akanksha sacrificed many dreams too.

Gaurav is not only an ideal husband on screen but also in real life. Akanksha was smitten by Gaurav's looks, and Gaurav, too, was enamored by her at first sight, leading to a swift marriage. Years later, Akanksha is still not ready for motherhood, while Gaurav respects her decisions despite his desire to become a father. He refrains from pressuring her into motherhood.
