A rumor has it that Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary and Ankit Gupta, contestants on Bigg Boss 16 who also appeared on the fictional television show Udaariyan, are in a relationship. Despite the two's repeated claims of being close friends, their conversations as housemates reveal that they are not.

However, actor Abhishek Kumar, who co-starred in Udaariyaan with Priyanka and Ankit, claims that the two are simply friends. He explains it to us by saying, "Priyanka and Ankit are good friends. They are not linked up in any way. I say this because I'm close to them and have spent a lot of time on the sets with them. Previously, the three of us were together frequently. Their on-stage chemistry was well received by the audience, so I suppose that's why people think their friendship isn't real. People no longer hold the belief that a man and a woman cannot be friends. The mere fact that two people spend time together does not imply that they are romantically involved. In fact, the most lovely relationship there has ever been is friendship.

People felt that Ankit and Priyanka were less involved in the house overall in the last few episodes of Bigg Boss 16 than other contestants. If you mention this to Abhishek, he responds, "I also feel something is missing or perhaps they are taking time to adjust. They are both formidable competitors for Bigg Boss because of their high levels of energy. They are so entertaining and crazy, I think they'll quickly take over the house.

If they actually develop closer relationships while living together, how might he respond? In response, he says, "It will surprise me, but you never know. I'll be happy for them if that happens.
