Ankit Gupta confirms exit from Terre Ho Jaayein Hum with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary amid breakup speculations; says 'I need some time for myself'

Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, lovingly called Priankit by their fans, recently left everyone stunned as rumours of their alleged breakup spread like wildfire. The Bigg Boss 16 duo unfollowed each other on social media which fueled the breakup speculations. And if this wasn't enough, there's another shock for Priankit fans as Ankit Gupta has quit Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta's show Terre Ho Jaayein Hum. During a recent chat with BollywoodBubble, the actor stated that he needs time for himself and would not be a part of the show.
Ankit said, "I backed out of the project with Ravi 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. And as I said, maybe that’s the reason I will not do Khatron Ke Khiladi again this year. I’m just taking time for myself, so I’m not thinking about work right now."
The actor mentioned in the same interview that he feels he could have waited a few more years before joining Bigg Boss 16, as it would have given him more time to be mentally prepared. He said, "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 this year. I have been offered and I even had a meeting with the team. This is probably 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 like to give my best. So maybe I should just wait for another year."
Ankit recently wrapped up shooting for Maati Se Bandhi Dor which ran for 11 months and also starred Rutuja Bagwe.
