In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 17, a tense moment unfolded between contestants Ankita Lokhande and Ayesha Khan. The incident began innocuously enough in the garden area, where Ankita complimented Ayesha’s feet, casually remarking, “Your feet look so beautiful, don’t they?” This led to an unexpected and uncomfortable response from Ayesha, who retorted, “You can lick them if you want.”
Ankita Lokhande’s Stand Against Disrespectful Comment
Ankita, clearly taken aback by Ayesha’s crass suggestion, expressed her displeasure. She later confronted Ayesha, emphasizing her discomfort with such remarks. “I don’t engage in this type of conversation,” Ankita stated. “The comment about licking feet… that’s just not me, and I won’t tolerate it. I understand it might be unintentional and part of your usual way of speaking, but it’s unfamiliar and disrespectful to me. Even Munawar (Faruqui) doesn’t speak to me in this manner, as I haven’t allowed anyone that kind of liberty. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but for my self-esteem, such comments are unacceptable.”
Ayesha offered an apology to Ankita
Following the episode’s broadcast, viewers quickly took to social media to criticize Ayesha for her inappropriate comment, applauding Ankita for standing up for herself. The audience’s reactions were overwhelmingly in favour of Ankita, with comments like, “Ayesha looks terrible on the show, she should be evicted,” and “She’s so disrespectful, doesn’t know how to treat others but expects respect in return.”

Adding another layer to the Bigg Boss 17 drama, Ayesha’s entrance to the house had already caused a stir. She confronted fellow contestant Munawar about his relationship with Nazila Sitaishi, whom he introduced as his girlfriend. Ayesha revealed that before joining the show, Munawar had confided in her about their breakup and had reciprocated her feelings. She was shocked to find him still referring to Nazila as his girlfriend on the show. Munawar clarified to Ayesha that he didn’t get a proper closure with Nazila and didn’t want to announce the breakup publicly, though he considered their relationship over in his mind.
