In the television series Udaariyaan, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, and Ankit Gupta made appearances and grew very popular. The viewers adored their on-screen chemistry, which contributed to the show's enormous popularity. Following the show, Salman Khan's reality series Bigg Boss 16 was offered to both actors. While Priyanka expressed interest in the show from the start, Ankit signed the deal before the show's premiere.
Inside the house, the residents frequently questioned Priyanka Choudhary and Ankit Gupta's connection. Ankit was also questioned about his relationship status by Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia. He had continued to say they were "just friends" in response. In the "Shukravaar Ka Episode," Karan Johar filled in for Salman Khan, who was ill with dengue and ordered Priyanka and Ankit to perform the "one-sided love" scene from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
Ankit said following the scene that one cannot feel passionately in love until they have inner peace. Karan Johar inquired if the actor was in the initial stage of love. Ankit responded hesitantly, "I've passed the first stage." It has been questioned as a result if the two are dating. While fans may be curious about their current situation, Priyanka's close friend Garima Barai cleared things up.
Garima clarified the situation by stating that the relationship is not solely on Priyanka's side. She and Ankit spend the majority of their time together at home. Despite numerous arguments, they were ultimately able to patch things up. Fans are speculating whether their relationship is more than just friendship after they recently broke down in tears and hugged on the show.
Garima Barai stated the following regarding the situation: "Ankit is a reserved guy, if he didn't want to be with Priyanka he would never give her so much importance. If she gets angry he even goes to console her. He even feels bad when they fight so it is not one-sided. They have different ways of expressing their feeling as Priyanka is very expressive and Ankit is very calm but it's not one-sided."
Ankit was asked if he was open to finding love in the Bigg Boss 16 house, and Ankit responded, "It's a very tricky situation because you are stuck with someone and you have no connections with the outer world. So, even if you don't like the person, you develop some kind of a soft corner with somebody that you've been talking to. I personally think that relationships made in such situations don't last. It happens in films that there is a damsel in distress and her knight in shining armour comes and saves her. That's fine if you've developed a certain kind of liking but what happens after that nobody shows. You see, if a sequel is made after 6-7 years, you'll find the couple fighting and not talking to each other.".
