With the Bigg Boss 17 grand finale just a few days away, Bigg Boss 17 contestants are making headlines. Ankita Lokhande and Mannara Chopra‘s rivalry has been a talking point this season. However, they had to field multiple questions at a recent press conference inside the Bigg Boss house on the many smear attacks they launched on each other. As they defended themselves, they again pointed fingers at one another.
While both have been at loggerheads since the start of the season, Mannara’s growing friendship with her husband Vicky Jain especially irked Ankita. Talking about the same, Ankita shared, “Mannara was never a part of our journey from the start, but suddenly when her relationships got strained, she gravitated towards Vicky. Mannara and I already had a rivalry, so as a wife, I felt Vicky should not talk to her. You can call it possessiveness or insecurity, but I took a stand for myself. I felt Mannara kept teasing me about her friendship with Vicky.”

Commenting on the nasty remarks that Mannara has been making about every woman in the house, Ankita said, “Mannara has a pattern; if she doesn’t get along with one of the partners, she starts badmouthing them. She never steps back despite realizing that she is causing problems between the couple. Whenever Mannara has an issue with someone, she speaks so badly about the other person that it has no limits. She attacked anyone close to Munawar Faruqui. I never had issues when Vicky was friends with Sanaa or Khanzaadi, because they never teased me about the friendship, but Mannra likes to poke.”
Clearing her stand on the remarks Ankita made and her friendship with Vicky, Mannara said, “He is like a brother to me. In one week, a lot happened to me and Vicky bhai, Isha, and Samarth were there for me during that time. I might have victimized everyone in the house, and I will apologise for it, but the character assassination was never intentional. I feel very awkward if things are being portrayed like this.”
She also added, “When Ayesha came, I welcomed her nicely and connected to her story, but she made nasty comments about me. As far as character is concerned, I told Ayesha that if I liked someone, I would wait for that person to express it, and not make a desperate attempt to come on the show. As for Ankita, she has made nasty remarks about me and said mean things related to Munawar and Vicky. So she cannot just defend herself.”
Recently, both Ayesha Khan and Isha Malviya spoke about how Mannara would question every girl’s reputation on the show. Isha said, “My issues with Mannara were there. She has never hesitated to point fingers at any girl’s character. She started judging all the girls from the second week itself. She has said a lot of disgusting things and was never called out. It is very disappointing to see Mannara play the victim card and get the audience’s sympathy.”

Ayesha also shared, “I have had several showdowns with Mannara, and I got to know certain things she said about me. She has attacked me several times on the show. Everyone called her cheap during the fight after the torture task, but I took a stand for her.”
