Vicky Jain stands up for his mother as Ankita Lokhande is questioned about her participation in Bigg Boss 17: “I have no idea why…

Ranjana Jain, Vicky Jain’s mother, requested Ankita Lokhande to swear she would never participate in a show that brings disgrace to her family during the Bigg Boss 17 finale. This is Vicky’s statement regarding his family’s response to his relationship with Ankita while he was living in the Bigg Boss house.


Famous actress Ankita Lokhande and her husband Vicky Jain participated together in the reality show Bigg Boss 17. While Ankita was evicted as the third runner-up in the Grand Finale, Vicky was eliminated in the final week. Vicky and Ankita’s relationship was tested at each and every level inside the house with their family members also being involved in the controversies.

Ankita had a huge disagreement with her mother-in-law Ranjana Jain when she came in the house to support her son Vicky. Ranjana had also made a shocking statement in the interviews that she never wanted Ankita to become her daughter-in-law. In the Bigg Boss 17 Grand Finale on Sunday, January 28, Salman Khan tried to sort out their differences as he asked Ankita and Vicky’s mom to make promises to each other.

While the Pavitra Rishta actress did her part well promising to take care of Vicky and his family, her mother-in-law said that the actress should promise to never take part in a show ‘jahan parivaar ki izzat mitti mein mil jaaye (where you spoil the family’s name)”. Ankita handled the situated and answered, “I am a part of this industry, mumma. I am proud of it.”

Now in a recent interview, Vicky has defender his mother’s stance saying that his family, who live in Bilaspur in Chhatisgarh, had never seen how he and Ankita live together in their daily lives in Mumbai before Bigg Boss. Talking to Hindustan Times, he said, “Ankita and me decided to get married at a certain age when we were mature. My family isn’t a part of this industry, they don’t understand. In Tier 2 and 3 cities, people meet each other at so many places, it doesn’t happen in a city like Mumbai. So naturally they asked questions to my family about our relationship when they saw us on the show, on how was the relationship with Ankita.”

“My family doesn’t know how we are because they don’t live with us. Ankita’s mother has, so she has seen us having differences, like a normal family. I never say I support (what happened), I am not vouching for it. But a mother’s emotions just come out at any moment, sometimes they are reasonable, sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know why people missed out on the good side. Because my relationship with Ankita is so strong, we could let it happen to each other. We are happy, our relationship is very strong. Also, I never disturbed Ankita’s game, I respected her individuality, and always knew it’s okay to have disagreements”, Vicky concluded.

Munawar Faruqui crowned winner of Bigg Boss 17, breaks down in tears as he beats Abhishek Kumar in grand finale!

Munawar Faruqui beat Abhishek Kumar in the grand finale of Bigg Boss 17!

Bigg boss 17 winner Munawar

After three months of tasks, fights, switching allegiances, and buckets of drama, Bigg Boss 17 has finally seen one winner. A little after midnight on Monday, host Salman Khan announced the winner in the presence of the top two finalists – Abhishek Kumar and Munawar Faruqui. In the end, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui was crowned the winner, beating Abhishek in a closely-fought final.

Both Abhishek and Munawar had been strong contenders for the title right from the beginning with Abhishek banking on his immense popularity from television while Munawar brought with himself the experience of triumphing at a similar captivity-based reality show – Lock Upp, which he won in 2022. Before exiting the Bigg Boss house, both Munawar nd Abhishek broke down in tears as they walked across the tunnel together.

Munawar Faruqui is a popular-yet-controversial stand-up comedian. He began his career as a comedian in 2020 with a video on his YouTube channel and graduated to stand-up comedy later that year. In January 2021, a stand-up show of his from Indore saw controversy after a son of BJP MLA accused him of inciting hatred and making malicious jokes about Hindu deities. Munawar was arrested under India’s hate speech laws and spent 37 days in jail before his release the following month. His arrest led to criticism and protests.

Munawar began his reality show journey with Kangana Ranaut’s Lock Upp season 1 in February 2022. Munawar ended up winning the show, further strengthening his celebrity. Munawar entered the Bigg Boss house hoping to emulate his Lock Upp success in this show as well.

Abhishek Kumar is a popular TV actor best known for playing Amrik in Udaariyaan. The show began airing on Colors in 2021 and turned Abhishek into an overnight star. The actor also made a hit on-screen jodi with Isha Malviya. The two later began to date but had a bitter break-up. He began his journey as a social media influencer, making videos on Tik Tok. But after the platform was banned in India, he shifted to making YouTube videos. Eventually, he turned to acting, finding fame with Udaariyaan.

Abhishek had initially caused friction in the house initially as his ex Isha was in the house. Their fights often made headlines. Things heated up further as Isha’s boyfriend Samarth Jurel also entered the house, leading to a physical fight between Abhishek and Samarth, following which Abhishek was briefly eliminated too but later brought back.

The other three finalists in the Bigg Boss 17 grand finale were Ankita Lokhande, Mannara Chopra, and Abhishek Mashettey.
