Ankita Lokhande made a lot of headlines while she was on one of the most controversial shows, Bigg Boss 17. She was constantly in the news for her fights with her husband and co-contestant Vicky Jain. However, the actress is still making headlines for being away from the show-sha and revealed in a recent interview that she is dealing with anxiety and finding it difficult to watch the Bigg Boss episodes.

She said that she is busy taking care of her post-show responsibilities. She also mentioned that she could not attend Abhishek Kumar's party, despite receiving an invitation because of health reasons.
