The personal life of Abhishek Bajaj, currently a contestant on "Bigg Boss 19," has been making headlines after his ex-wife, Akanksha Jindal, publicly addressed their separation and made accusations of infidelity. Amidst the swirling rumors and online discussions, Akanksha has issued a statement clarifying the timeline of their parting, asserting that they officially separated on August 18, 2023.

The clarification comes after many believed that the couple had parted ways approximately six years ago. Akanksha addressed this misconception directly, stating, "For those saying I 'came after six years' — please, get your facts right. We parted ways on August 18, 2023". Her statement was shared online and included a pointed message: "You asked for the truth, I gave it. Now suddenly I'm the problem? If only you knew the full story, you wouldn't mock… you'd understand. Truth doesn't shake the innocent — only the guilty feel threatened".

Akanksha's statement follows a recent "Weekend Ka Vaar" episode of "Bigg Boss 19," where host Salman Khan made a remark about "ex-wives" that seemed to allude to Abhishek's past. This prompted increased scrutiny of Abhishek's personal life and his previous marriage to Akanksha Jindal.

Prior to her recent clarification, Akanksha had given an interview where she spoke about the reasons for their divorce, alleging infidelity on Abhishek's part and claiming that he was involved with multiple women. She also stated that he was unsupportive of her career ambitions. In response to these allegations, Abhishek's team released a statement, penned by the actor before entering the "Bigg Boss" house, labeling Akanksha a "fame digger" and expressing his disappointment that his past was being brought into the present.

Abhishek and Akanksha's relationship began after reconnecting at a school reunion, years after they initially met. They dated for seven years before marrying in November 2017. According to reports, Abhishek proposed on a yacht near Mumbai's Gateway of India.

Akanksha is a company secretary and a social media influencer with a significant following on Instagram, where she posts content related to lifestyle, travel, and fashion. While she has been active online, she has generally avoided controversies. In the wake of the recent attention, Akanksha has stated that she has no interest in appearing on "Bigg Boss 19" as a wild card contestant, asserting that she wishes to achieve success on her own merits.
