Akanksha Chamola breaks silence on Dil Dhokha Aur Desire's viral video; says 'My co-stars got too excited, they should've acted responsibly'

Akanksha Chamola recently made headlines after a dance video featuring her and her co-stars from the launch event of her latest series Dil Dhokha Aur Desire went viral. The actress finally breaks her silence and addresses the controversy. In a latest interview with Hautterrfly, the actress spoke about her comfort level during the incident and stated that her co-stars should have acted more responsibly.

During the interview, when the host asked the actress if she was uncomfortable in the situation, she replied, "Tell me honestly, would any girl feel comfortable in that situation?"

Akanksha then explained what actually transpired at the promotional event, saying, "To be fair to everyone, let me explain what actually happened. It was a pre-planned promotional event, high-energy, live, with a huge audience response. The trailer had just been released, the song was out, and we were launching it as part of the promotion. We had already shot a small dance reel earlier for promotional purposes, so during the event we were asked to recreate those moments. This was discussed beforehand."





She shared that the outfit she was wearing at the event restricted her movements and made things uncomfortable. She said, "However, I’ll admit there may have been a slight error in judgment regarding my outfit. It was beautiful, but the long trail restricted my movement. I could barely move properly — I was balancing myself with one hand while trying to lift the trail with the other, so my body movements were limited."

Akanksha further explained that her co-stars got a bit carried away during the act, "We were briefed that I would perform with the bodyguard character, and then the actor playing my husband would step in and separate us — that was meant to be the end of the act. Things happened in the heat of the moment. In my mind, we were already wrapping up because the director had suggested ending with a RK pose. But the act continued due to the loud applause from the audience. I think in that excitement, my co-actors got carried away and tried to give the audience something more."

However, the actress also clarified that her co-stars did not do anything intentionally but mentioned that they should have acted responsibly, "I’m not questioning their intentions — I don’t believe it was planned or done with any wrong motive. But I do feel that more responsibility was needed. When you’re performing publicly, especially in front of the media, you also have a moral duty to respect your co-actor’s boundaries."

She ended the conversation by saying that just because she didn’t react in that moment, it should not be assumed that she was comfortable or enjoying what was happening.

"I wasn’t comfortable. I was trying to stay composed instead of reacting the way I felt in that moment. Just because I didn’t react strongly doesn’t mean I was enjoying it. I wasn’t. Put yourself in that position, regardless of gender, being caught between two people unexpectedly is not a comfortable situation, especially when you weren’t prepared for it. If I had known it was part of the act beforehand, I would have handled it differently,” she concluded.
