Throughout Bigg Boss Season 17, Ankita Lokhande appeared to be a strong contender. Her journey also led many to think she would take the trophy home. But unfortunately, Ankita failed to even make it to the top 3. The moment was upsetting, with even host Salman Khan saying he was shocked to see Ankita’s journey end the way it did. After Munawar Faruqui was declared the winner of Bigg Boss 17, Ankita looked upset when she walked out from the sets. Now, the Pavitra Rishta actor has spoken about that moment and confessed it was embarrassing for her.
Sharing her take on coming fourth on Bigg Boss 17, Ankita said, “I was shocked. I never thought I would come in the 4th position, but I always felt that it was part of the game. Someone wins, and someone loses. I think you win just by going on that show. It is not easy to survive there. Mentally, it is very exhausting. Eventually, you have to come back home with a smile. It was embarrassing when I came in the fourth position, but I took it positively. All the 17 contestants have won because they survived in the house.”
