During the chat we asked Ankit about taking up Bigg Boss and how he reflects on that decision. To this, the actor says, “When I completed shooting for Udaariyaan, I signed Junooniyatt before Bigg Boss. But the show was about to start after three to four months. At that time, I had two options: either I do something else, which is short term, or I travel. But as I said, my mindset was that I had to keep working. Then the Bigg Boss offer came, and the people from Colors were very keen on taking me on. So, I did it.”

He adds, “And now I realize I could have waited for a couple of more years. I could have mentally and physically prepared and then gone. Maybe that’s the reason I am not very keen on doing Khatron Ke Khiladi also this year. I have been offered and I even had a meeting with the team. This is the first time probably, mere mann se nahi aa raha hai ki mujhe karna chahiye. That’s why I mentioned that I need two to three months of break for myself. I’m not mentally, physically, emotionally ready for such a show. Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi is a one-time show, so I would want to give my best. So maybe I should just wait for another year.”

Revealing the reason behind it, Ankit shares, “Yes I backed out of the project with Ravi Sargun. I don’t think that I would be able to do something for that project right now. And maybe I need some time for myself to rejuvenate and recharge myself. And as I said, maybe that’s the reason I will not do Khatron Ke Khiladi also this year. I’m just taking time for myself, so I’m not thinking about work right now.”
