Ankita reflected on her journey on Bigg Boss 17 and opened up about her experience dealing with depression after coming out of the show. She shared that she started having anxiety issues along with palpitation and couldn't sleep the entire night. However, she could overcome all of it with the support of her entire family. Ankita said:
"After Bigg Boss, things do affect me, I won't deny it. I started to have anxiety issues and I used to discuss with Vicky that I was going into depression. That was the point when I realised that this is anxiety. I couldn't sleep the entire night thinking about several things. I used to get palpitation, Mujhe Khauf hogaya tha cheezon ka... but now everything is fine. Ye sab cheezein theek hui because I had the support of my entire family."
Ankita further added that she managed to come out of anxiety and depression with the help of her husband, Vicky Jain and her family.

She added that while earlier things used to bother her a lot, she has managed to come out of that zone. In Ankita's words:
"This is a very serious problem in our country where anxiety and depression are taken very lightly. I've gone through it after coming out of Bigg Boss. With the help of Vicky and my family, I managed to come out. They understood my issues and today I can say that now things don't affect me. Like earlier, things never bothered me, whether it was trolling or Kisi ko bolne se Mujhe Kabhi farak nahi pada but after Bigg Boss I was very affected mentally. Maine uss cheez se apne aap ko bahar nikala hai and I don't even want to think about it."

"I feel it's always best when partners help each other and become each other's support system when they are moving ahead in their careers. I consider myself lucky that I have a partner who is equally talented with whom I can do all these things. Kaafi baar combinations bahut of hote hain, but in our case, we are husband-wife, but he can also be a co-star to me, and that is an amazing feeling. Mujhe aisa lagta hai ke agar Ek partner grow kar raha hai Aur dusra bhi ussi tarha se aage bach raha hai tob power he alag hojaati hai."
