Speaking in an interview with Telly Talk India, Akanksha stated that while Khesari holds a special place in her heart, their bond is rooted in friendship and mutual respect for each other as artists rather than romance. She revealed that their connection is meaningful and long-standing, and she is indifferent to what others say about it. She accepted that they share a bond that goes beyond filming. She could be quoted as saying:

“Khesari is very close to my heart and always will be. I don’t care what fans or trolls say. Our bond goes beyond work.”

Brushing aside the negativity surrounding their dynamics, Akanksha explained there’s always fun and banter among friends. Fans will say what they want, but her love and respect for Khesari as an artist will never change. Her response reflected that she is unfazed by baseless speculation. She said:

"This relationship will always stay. There's always fun and banter among friends. As for what fans are saying... that's up to them. But I love Khesari Ji very much, as an artist, and I always will. He is very special to me."

It was not just the closeness between Khesari and Akanksha that had people talking about the two; it was actually the fact that, despite being married to Chanda Devi for 19 years, Khesari Lal Yadav continues to display a close association with Akanksha publicly. The Bhojpuri actor-singer's chemistry with Akanksha has been the subject to much gossip on social media, sparking backlash and commentary not just from his fans but also from followers of fellow actor-singer, Pawan Singh.
