In the video, Ankit Gupta shared details about bagging Bigg Boss. He stated that he got a call from Sargun and she informed her about his exit from Udaariyaan but also mentioned that she has another show for him which was Junooniyatt. They met and she gave her the contract paper. However, he had three to four months in hand as Junooniyatt would take that much time to go on the floor. He said, "Unko laga yeh teen-chaar mahine kuch aur naa karle issliye they asked me to take up Bigg Boss."

Ankit further added there were at least three to four weeks of discussion before he signed Bigg Boss 16.

Furthermore, Ankit also revealed suffering from gastric and panic attacks because of which he was hospitalized.
