On successfully gaining weight, Ankit was disappointed to realize that the serial was shelved, even before its production started, he was supposed to play the lead in the show. The biggest challenge he faced was pulling down all the additional kilos and he took almost a year to do so. However, he was strong-willed and made sure he gets back in shape. According to him, “While it was a challenge to get rid of the extra weight, I never let it come in my way and while losing weight I was doing the famous theatre play Court Marshal, which I did for 3 years as BD Kapoor.” In spite, of the unfortunate call-off, Ankit has no bitterness towards the producer, in fact, they share a great relationship with each other even after the incident. He says, "Sometimes unfortunate things happen and its no one's fault. This is the only production house I am close to. These are the best people to work with and I am dying to work with them again".
