While the audience saw that friendship end on the show and their equation changed, Ankita has now declared that there is no bad blood between the two of them. In an exclusive chat with Indianexpress.com, the actress spoke about the friendship and also about Munawar winning the title.
Talking about her friendship with Munawar, Ankita said, “My friendship with Munawar never broke, I don’t know why people say so. Munna and I spoke there only. Now also we are in touch and we speak with each other. Munna and my friendship was never over, there was just that one incident, where I thought he should have spoken up for me and he didn’t, so I felt hurt. I am like that, I get hurt easily, but after that, we were quite okay. Now he has won, and I am very happy for him.”
Ankita also spoke about keeping in touch with others and staying friends after the show ended. She said, “My experiences in life have not managed to make a pro at gauging relationships. But yes, now I am in that space where I don’t want to call people and invite them into my life. If I feel someone wants to be friends with me, more than welcome. I always try to forgive and move on, but now I don’t want to do that. I want to take a stand for myself, I need to protect myself. Sometimes your giving nature can get harmful for you only. So yes, I don’t want to be so giving now, that someone walks over me.”
