Akanksha Chamola has been on the show for quite a while, and after she left Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, she has been getting talked about a lot. Meanwhile, Shreya Kalra seems to have moved ahead and basically won the trophy from the same show. In a post-elimination chat with Tejasswi, she touched on her journey a bit, also her personal life and, in a way, her sexuality. In the discussion, Akanksha reiterated her belief that sexuality is “a phase. She told the families the emotional, physical and mental shifts can make a person feel differently about relationships, but she currently doesn’t feel up to being in physical ones.

After clips from the interview went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms, a lot of users started criticizing Akanksha Chamola’s comments. In the responses, several people said they didn’t agree with what she said, that “sexuality is a phase.”
Unpopular opinion but a person can be bisexual AND asexual.. they mean different things in the spectrum. And sexuality is not a phase but it is fluid. Chamola just needs to articulate better. https://t.co/UTsnZOSgcf
