Another fan wrote, “Scotch and Fudge are together up there watching you guys,” a comment read.
Ankita, who rose to fame with her stint in the ‘Pavitra Rishta’ show, entered the Bigg Boss house with her husband Vicky Jain. Vicky eliminated in a mid-week elimination before the grand finale.
Ankita got a little emotional after learning about her elimination. Her family members also became disappointed. Her sister-in-law got teary-eyed.
Host Salman Khan was also shocked as he expected to see Ankita as the winner of the 17th season.
She will be next seen in the upcoming period biopic ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ opposite actor Randeep Hooda.
