Talking about the challenges they overcame in their relationship, Ankita’s husband said, “There cannot be a tougher test for a relationship than what happened suddenly. There was a turn that shocked not just us but the whole nation. Nobody can be prepared for such a thing.”

After SSR’s death, Ankita made several appearances with the late actor’s family. She showed support to them during their time of grief. However, during this time, Vicky Jain faced backlash. He was trolled on social media. Addressing the same, Jain said, “A lot of people had wrong notions about things. I was unable to understand it all. I am proud of Ankita that she very boldly handled it. She fulfilled whatever duties and responsibilities she had. Wherever it was needed, she said her piece for herself and that relationship. For that honesty, I always supported her.”

Ankita and Vicky got married on December 14, last year. They began dating in 2019. The couple had a three-day-long star-studded affair, hosted in Mumbai.
