Ankita missing from KBC special bahu episode

Kaun Banega Crorepati has been celebrating Diwali special episodes and tonight the spotlight will be on Television Bahus. So you have bahus from Sasural Genda Phool, Pratigya, Laagi Tujhse Lagan, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and Comedy Circus (though we wonder if stand up comedienne Bharati Singh qualifies as a bahu!) making most of their 15 minutes on the hot seat with Amitabh Bachchan sweetly flirting with each of them. We wonder though why there is no one from Zee, considering Ankita Lokhande from Pavitra Rishta definitely made the cut of the current TV bahus. However a bird from Zee tells us that Sony did approach them but they refused. “We wanted the entire Pavitra Rishta team to participate in the show, not just Ankita. And in any case, if you look at the other girls, none of them belong to shows that come in the 9 to 10 pm slot! So you don’t actually have prime time heroines from rival shows that clash with KBC at 9…” Hmmm, now that’s a valid point but given the promos of the episode, we are sure, everyone had a good time and those who missed the bus, well, better luck next time. Meanwhile, we did try contacting Ankita but guess, she was busy shooting.
