Things took an ugly turn on national television when during their Bigg Boss 17 stint Ankita threw a slipper at Vicky after she got angry at him. The latter later came to know about the interaction between her husband’s father and her mother.
She told, “Meri mummy ko papa (Vicky Jain’s father) ne phone kiya tha. He asked ‘Aap aapke pati ko aisi maarti thi kya chappal jute phek ke?’ Papa ne aur bhi bola tha. He said ‘Aapki aukat kya hai (Papa had called my mother up and asked if she used to hit her husband with slippers. He also humiliated her by questioning her status in society)?” She further added, “I politely told mummy (Vicky Jain’s mother Ranjana Jain) that she was alone, my papa recently passed away. I genuinely felt guilty and apologised to her. Later, my mom revealed that papa had told her many other things. But I asked her to not bring all this up right now.”
Ankita is known for her roles in Pavitra Rishta, Baaghi 3 and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.
