Kangana Ranaut roots for her Manikarnika co-star Ankita Lokhande to win Bigg Boss 17

The Bigg Boss 17 finale is inching closer, and contestant Ankita Lokhande has already found support in actor Kangana Ranaut, with whom she worked on the film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. Ankita and her husband Vicky Jain, who is also a contestant on the show, have had a tumultuous time in the Bigg Boss house. Kangana took to Instagram to share a clip of Vicky Jain’s mother, where she is talking about why Ankita deserves to win the show.

For the unversed, Vicky Jain and Ankita Lokhande have been at loggerheads with each other since the show began, and have even brought up the topic of divorce in their conversations. In one of the episodes, both Ankita and Vicky’s parents visited the house.

Ankita was seen talking with Vicky’s mother in private, which eventually turned into an argument. Ankita’s mother-in-law was upset with the couple’s fights, and said, “Jis din tumne laat maari thi na. Papa ne turant tumhari mummy ko phone kiye ‘Tum apne pati ko aisi hi laat maarti thi?’ (The day you kicked Vicky, your father-in-law had called your mother and asked, ‘Have you also kicked your husband like that)?” Ankita was not very comfortable with this conversation, and looked visibly upset. She had also said that there was no need to drag her mother into this.

But pained at the narrative being spun against Ankita and her mother-in-law, Kangana Ranaut posted a snippet of Ankita’s mother-in-law explaining why she deserves to win over Vicky.

Kangana wrote along in her story, “Media doing their best to break the family, they won’t show you how @lokhandeankita’s saasuma (mother-in-law) rooting for her, also love that chuckle in the end… Ha ha too cute aunty, reality shows come and go but family is forever, I hope my friend @lokhandeankita wins but not at the cost of her marriage.”

Another statement by Vicky Jain’s mother saying that she never supported their marriage has been making headlines. “We were not in support. Vicky has not done it. We don’t have a say in that. Everyone is seeing this but we haven’t said anything to them even once. Their relationship will improve. If there is no problem, then it will improve. And we are sure that Vicky has done everything possible. That’s the kind of person he is,” she said in Hindi, while talking to Pinkvilla.

In a recent episode, Ankita and Vicky were seen in a conversation where the actor reacted angrily to Vicky’s closeness with fellow Bigg Boss contestant Mannara Chopra. She told Vicky inside the house, “Suddenly Mannara is in your life… You like her a lot… You enjoy talking to her. Please carry on.” Vicky replied, “What’s wrong in that? Please give a logical reason.”

Salman Khan, while hosting the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode, confirmed that the Bigg Boss 17 finale will air on January 28.
