Ankita Lokhande’s life and personality became the subject of widespread discussion during and after her stint on Bigg Boss 17. The actress faced relentless trolling, which ultimately resulted in her experiencing anxiety and palpitations.
Ankita Lokhande participated in Bigg Boss 17 last year alongside her husband, Vikas Jain. Their journey on the Salman Khan-hosted reality show sparked intense discussions, with the couple facing significant trolling for their interactions within the house. The challenges of the Bigg Boss environment, known for amplifying conflicts, took its toll on Ankita and Vicky. Their struggles and disagreements attracted more criticism than support, which continued even after the show ended, affecting them deeply.
In a recent interview with an online entertainment news portal, Ankita Lokhande disclosed the toll the show took on her mental health. She revealed experiencing anxiety and eventually realizing she was slipping into depression, a realization she shared with Vicky Jain. Ankita struggled to sleep, consumed by anxious thoughts, and began experiencing palpitations as a result. However, with the unwavering support of her family, Ankita managed to overcome these challenges.
Ankita emphasized the lack of seriousness surrounding anxiety and depression in India, underscoring the importance of having a supportive network like Vicky and her family. With their assistance, she has regained her mental well-being and returned to her former self. While acknowledging the tough mental state she was in post-Bigg Boss, Ankita now prefers not to dwell on those difficult times and is focused on moving forward positively.
