BIGG BOSS 16: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ANKIT GUPTA'S COMEBACK?

As the TV heartthrob has already signed a new fiction show, his chances of returning to the Bigg Boss 16 house look bleak. However, there are strong chances that he might enter the BB 16 house as Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's connection during the Family Week or in another special segment.

Considering his popularity, the makers might bring him back for a day or two. However, his ardent fans have demanding the production house and the channel to re-introduce him as a wildcard contestant. They have alleged that Ankit Gupta's eviction was 'unfair' as he was voted out by the other housemates. The fans have also expressed their displeasure over the way the voting lines were closed when the Balika Vadhu actor was nominated along with Tina Datta, Sreejita De and Vikas Manaktala.
