Mumbai, June 27 (IANS) Akanksha Chaudhary, who is a participant of “Lock Upp: Sach ya Sazaa” on Netflix, shared that her previous reality show “Splitsvilla 16” affected her mental health and added that she would show the “3.0” version of her.
Akanksha, who faced name-calling in and after the Sunny Leone-hosted show, said in a statement: “I feel in my last reality show, there were many allegations that were not cleared. My fans are waiting for answers and I feel Lock Upp: Sach ya Sazaa will give me that space to do that. These allegations affected my mental health.”
It was in the youth-based reality show, that Yogesh and Akanksha first met and decided to be together. Things took a turn when Yogesh’s former girlfriend Ruru entered the show. The finale of “Splitsvilla” too saw some fireworks as many claimed that Yogesh cheated on Ruru with Akanksha.
