In an emotional rollercoaster on Bigg Boss 17, Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain’s relationship was strained by a severe argument. The dispute, initiated over a coffee, intensified when Ankita felt left out and insecure, struggling with Vicky’s changing mood. Vicky’s frustration grew as he countered, questioning the narrative Ankita was constructing with her behavior. The quarrel escalated as accusations flew back and forth, with Vicky pointing out Ankita’s friendship with Munawar, while she tagged him as a womaniser for his closeness to Mannara. Vicky was hurt, recollecting times he supported Ankita, especially during the troubled times following her ex-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
Vicky reminded Ankita of his unwavering support, even helping her with interviews about Sushant, ensuring she was portrayed positively without intrusion. The mention of Sushant underscored a deeper layer of their current turmoil. Ankita, reflecting her distress, questioned Vicky’s constant companionship with Mannara, accusing him of neglect. The dispute shone a light on the complexities of their relationship dynamics, pressures of public life, and the looming past.
The conflict on Bigg Boss 17 showed a rare moment when Vicky spoke of Sushant, while Ankita, who often brought up Sushant’s memory, faced criticism for leveraging his name for sympathy. This happened alongside support for Ankita from SSR’s sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, highlighting the entwined relationships. Ankita and Sushant, once co-stars in Pavitra Rishta, had their own romantic history, making Vicky’s mention a poignant one, nearly two years after Sushant’s tragic end.
