Have they mended their relationship, since the show's now over, Mannara Chopra on her bond with Ankita Lokhande told IANS: "I am fine with her. I connected with her in the later days when I started interacting with Vicky bhai and then out of respect⦠you know when you are talking to a person you have to give respect to the wife. So, I tried to give her that respect to the fullest."
Mannara feels that Ankita didn't take it positively that she was the first female finalist of the show. "But until that torture task happened and we were given an option of going directly to the finale. From there I think she could not take it in a very positive way and said very rough things which really hurt me. I really couldn't say much because I had that respect for Vicky bhai that I must maintain."

I don't know what kind of character assassinations she is talking about but I consider her to be my very good friend. But when she said things like âbar girl' and âlingerie' I was like what happened to her."
Mannara concluded, "I think she didn't take it positively with me being the only girl to be the first finalist. She must've reacted like that and words came out of her mouth. But I could not digest it, that it came out of Isha's mouth."
