During the grand finale episode, Ankita's mother-in-law, Ranjana Jain, made yet another controversial statement about the actress. Salman Khan asked Lokhande and Ranjana to make vows to each other.
After the actress made promises, Ranjana stated that Ankita should promise to never take part in the show ‘jahan parivaar ki izzat mitti mein mil jaae (where you spoil the family's name).’ Reacting to this, the Pavitra Rishta actress said, “I am a part of this industry, mumma. I am proud of it."
After the Bigg Boss 17 loss, Lokhande also penned a note on her Instagram handle and wrote, "A journey to be remembered & cherished forever! Thank you @beingsalmankhan for your kind words. Thank you @officialjiocinema @colorstv @endemolshineind for giving me this opportunity."
