The curtains closed on Bigg Boss 17 on January 28, with Munawar Faruqui clinching the coveted title. Abhishek Kumar and Mannara Chopra secured the first and second runner-up positions, respectively, while Ankita Lokhande and Arun Mashettey claimed the fourth and fifth spots.
Following the conclusion of the reality show, several Bigg Boss contestants convened for reunion parties. However, Ankita Lokhande’s absence from these gatherings sparked speculation about her well-being and emotional state. Notably, she refrained from participating in immediate post-show interviews, indicating a sense of unease.
In a recent interview, Ankita Lokhande disclosed that her decision to skip the parties was primarily due to health reasons. Coping with post-show responsibilities while battling health issues had consumed her energy. Despite receiving an invitation from Abhishek Kumar for his reunion party, Ankita genuinely couldn’t attend due to her health condition, citing anxiety as a contributing factor.
Acknowledging her struggles, Ankita mentioned, “I have developed anxiety issues, so I am trying to maintain a balance.” She confessed to feeling mentally affected by her Bigg Boss 17 experience, despite making efforts to keep up with the episodes.
Inside the Bigg Boss 17 house, Ankita and her husband Vicky Jain faced numerous challenges, navigating disagreements and emotional turmoil. Their relationship dynamics became a focal point, with heated arguments and criticism from Vicky’s family adding to the tension.
After a hiatus, Ankita finally made an appearance at the Bigg Boss 17 reunion party, stunning in a blue gown alongside her husband, Vicky Jain, who opted for a denim ensemble.
Ankita Lokhande, known for her roles in films like Manikarnika and Baaghi 3, and her stint in the television series Pavitra Rishta, publicly announced her relationship with Vicky Jain in 2019. The couple tied the knot on December 14, 2021, in Mumbai, marking a new chapter in their journey together.
