  "account": "Actress Akanksha Chamola recently revealed the reasoning behind her decision to remain child-free in her marriage with Gaurav Khanna. In an exclusive interview with Free Press Journal, the actress expressed her gratitude for having a family that supports her personal choice, emphasizing that she is not at all confused about her decision. Akanksha admitted that she did not anticipate her stance on childlessness to become such a widely discussed topic.\n\nDespite her mother's supportive reaction upon learning of her choice, Akanksha also acknowledged the challenging nature of parenting. She admired her parents for raising her and expressed how difficult she believes raising a child can be, questioning the societal expectation that women should automatically have children. Akanksha emphasized that the capability to bear children does not automatically entail the responsibility of raising them, stating, \"We know we are blessed with this thing. We are a vessel for that, we know that. But, that doesn’t mean we have to (have kids).\"\n\nThe actress also addressed the tendency to judge others for their personal choices, expressing appreciation for her family's understanding and support. Akanksha had previously discussed her decision during Bigg Boss 19, dismissing an astrologer's prediction of her and Gaurav Khanna starting a family.
