Ankit Gupta CONFIRMS LEAVING Terre Hojayein Hum starring Priyanka Chahar: 'Don't think I'll be able to..'

Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary unfollowing each other on Instagram sparked several reports of the rumoured love birds parting ways. While Ankit, in an exclusive chat with India Forums, refrained from commenting on the same, recent reports about him backing out of his much anticipated show 'Terre Hojayein Hum' with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary has only added more fuel to the fire.

Now reacting to the same, the Maati Se Bandhi Dor fame has further confirmed opting out of the show, stating that he is 'not ready' for it right now. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Ankit says, ''Yes I backed out of the project with Ravie and Sargun. I don’t think that I would be able to do something for that project right now. And maybe I need some time for myself to rejuvenate and recharge myself.''

The actor also reveals not taking up Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 this year too and states that he should have also waited for a couple of years before taking Bigg Boss. ''When I completed shooting for Udaariyaan, I signed Junooniyatt before Bigg Boss. But the show was about to start after three to four months. At that time, I had two options: either I do something else, which is short term, or I travel. But as I said, my mindset was that I had to keep working. Then the Bigg Boss offer came, and the people from Colors were very keen on taking me on. So, I did it.''

Yes I backed out of the project with Ravie and Sargun. I don’t think that I would be able to do something for that project right now. And maybe I need some time for myself to rejuvenate and recharge myself.

He further says, ''And now I realize I could have waited for a couple of more years. I could have mentally and physically prepared and then gone. Maybe that’s the reason I am not very keen on doing Khatron Ke Khiladi also this year. I have been offered and I even had a meeting with the team. This is the first time probably, mere mann se nahi aa raha hai ki mujhe karna chahiye. That’s why I mentioned that I need two to three months of break for myself. I’m not mentally, physically, emotionally ready for such a show. Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi is a one-time show, so I would want to give my best. So maybe I should just wait for another year.''

Well, reports of the actor opting out of the show have come at a time when there have reports of the actor parting ways with his rumoured lady love Priyanka Chahar Choudhary.
