In the latest episode, Chamola admitted to being bisexual before her marriage to actor Gaurav Khanna. She said, "Main shaadi se pehle bisexual thi. Mere relations rahe hain kuch ladkiyon ke saath (I was bisexual before marriage. I have been in relationships with a few females)." "Bohot zyada intimate relations nahi rahe hai but I have been in relationships with a few females aur bas vahi hai, mujhe ladkiyan pasand hai (They were not really intimate, but I love women)."
Feminine energy
'I love that feminine energy'
Chamola further added that she admires and is attracted to women. "I love that feminine energy, I love that comfort and thrive in that," she said. "Aise society mein rehte hain jaha log bolte hain ki ladkiya dost nahi rah sakti jealousy hota hain ya competition hota hain (We live in a society where it is said that girls cannot be friends due to jealousy or competition)." "Mere mein woh sab nahi tha, mere liye all females are beautiful."
