Ankit is a decent actor if not great. He did really well till the EMA started,tbh I seriously feel the EMA wasn't a part of the story like this way. That character just went low and low and low everyday. His character litterally got ruined thanks to writers. And it's obvious no-one will love that character anymore. And I think even they did dirty to Ankit, I feel bad for that guy. FaTejo became so popular and loved, they are still loved by many but a heavy bunch of audience really hates that character now and what's even worse there's no way we can love Fateh again. It's totally done, he must be feeling insecure. He's not a big actor so the fear and frustration is always there. So it has definitely effected him.
If you see bts or stuff around when EMA started it was clear Ankit wasn't really happy with everything. It was not just because of method acting as he said,but he was also affected with the sudden change in his character. And since then writer just butchered the character to this extent that now there's no way back. That's one of the reason also that they started the channel. Atleast it would work like a distraction, fans will also be a bit less ruthless to him. I don't think the story would be affected from the youtube thing. FaTejo was popular even when EMA started but the makers still went up with this shitty track. Now even most FaTejo fans doesn't want them together so the makers will do what they want to do. Actors are just trying to milk the fame they are getting in a positive way. So it's fine, that guy also needs to work more after this show. And showing up with Tejo I mean Priyanka will definitely add some positive impact in his future career. Priyanka is getting more popular too, win-win for everyone.
