Actor Ankita Lokhande, who emerged as the third runner-up of Bigg Boss 17, has opened up about her tumultuous journey on the show, with her husband Vicky Jain. In a new interview, the Pavitra Rishta fame has shared how watching the show now is ‘traumatic’ for her. The actor also opened up about facing anxiety issues after coming out of the Bigg Boss house and said that she is trying to recover.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ankita shared how she feels when people comment on her relationship with Vicky. The actor said, “It still hurts. I am not recovering from it, and it’s not because of anybody else, it’s because of us. I saw some of my scenes and I was just telling Vicky yesterday that you know we have fun and we say things like, ‘I will hit you’ in jest.”

“But on the TV, it looked so exaggerated. Now when I see it, it impacts me so much that I do not like it because we talk to each other as friends, so it feels okay. But it’s come with such force on TV that it’s traumatic, it’s not healthy to watch, it’s not nice to watch. Whatever we did, we did it ourselves, no one else was there, we were fighting there, but somewhere there’s a lot of love in that fight too,” Ankita continued.

Ankita recently skipped Bigg Boss 17 runner-up Abhishek Kumar’s party. When asked about the reason behind it, Ankita said, “I was feeling unwell. I’m not keeping well; you can hear my voice. I had some anxiety issues, so I’m trying to recover a bit from that, keeping a bit away from these things.  I’m just trying to balance things.”
