Ankit Gupta drops spiritual post on loss and trust, fans suspect it's about split from Priyanka Choudhary

Ankit Gupta known for Udaariyaan and Bigg Boss 16 has once again caught public attention, not for a new role, but for a cryptic Instagram story that has sparked speculation. The actor, who is often private about his personal life, shared a spiritual message centred on Lord Shiva, loss, and acceptance. Fans were quick to connect the dots and link the post to his rumoured breakup with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary.

The story included an image of Lord Shiva, along with a reflective message: “Sometimes what you lost was never meant to stay. Sometimes that delay was protection. Shiva is not just the giver of blessings — He is the remover of burdens you don’t even know you’re carrying. Trust what leaves. Trust what breaks. Trust Him.”

He captioned it with, “I don’t know who needs to know this but…” a line that left followers guessing. Though he made no mention of Priyanka or their relationship, the timing of the post raised eyebrows. The two, who rose to popularity with Udaariyaan and BB16, have been surrounded by breakup rumours for months. While the duo hasn't addressed the speculation directly, such posts have only fuelled further chatter.

Earlier this year, Ankit had issued a strong statement addressing rumours and online gossip. Referring to repeated efforts to link him with people he’s never interacted with, he wrote:
“There comes a point where silence starts to feel like consent, and I'm no longer okay with that... The recent attempt to link me with someone I don't even know is not just absurd — it's disturbing.”

He had further added, “From this point on, any platform spreading false or invasive content about me will face legal action. Having a public life doesn’t mean my dignity is public property.” Sources close to the actors have hinted at personal differences, but both have avoided commenting publicly. Ankit’s latest story seems more like an attempt to process change quietly, through faith and inner reflection. Whether this is closure or just a phase of healing, one thing’s clear: he’s drawing lines.
