Bigg Boss 17 - Ankita Lokhande praises Mannara Chopra, says 'women are not weak, but sensitive'; netizens react

Bigg Boss Season 17 has been grabbing headlines in the world of entertainment since October 2023. Ankita Lokhande, one of the most popular contestants on the show, is now among the top 10 contestants. However, her journey on the show has been full of controversies. From talking constantly about late actor Sushant Singh Rajput (who dated her in the past) to fighting unnecessarily with her husband Vicky Jain, Ankita Lokhande has not been a clear-cut entertainer. Recently, she praised Mannara Chopra’s performance during the nomination task with a comment – which did not go down well among social media users.

Ankita Lokhande praises Mannara Chopra, says 'women are not weak, but sensitive'

Just after the first half of the nomination task wrapped up, Ankita Lokhande praised Mannara Chopra’s performance. However, her praise is drawing the internet’s attention. In the presence of Munawar Faruqui, Ankita Lokhande said, “Sabse accha task Mannara ne khela. Woh ruki rahi. Tikki rahi. (Mannara performed the best. She stood confidently. She did not leave her position easily.)

Munawar replied, “Par apne use target kiya because woh weak thi. (But do not forget that you did target her because you felt that she was weak.)”

To this, Ankita said, “Weak nahi par sensitive hai. Ladkiyan sensitive hoti hai. Weak nahi hoti hai. Sensitive hoti hai. (She is not weak, but sensitive. Girls are sensitive. Not weak. Sensitive.)”

Munawar wrapped up the conversation by agreeing with Ankita’s statement. However, a section of social media users has slammed Ankita Lokhande for her comments.
