Ankita Lokhande gets jealous of Meera Chopra after Vicky Jain does this? Watch the viral video
Ankita Lokhande and her husband, Vicky Jain, recently made an appearance at a Mumbai event on Monday evening. But what caught the internet's attention wasn't just the couple's presence — it was Ankita's reaction while Vicky interacted with actress Meera Chopra. In a video now going viral, Vicky is seen engaged in an animated conversation with Meera. At one point, he even holds her hand as she reacts with visible surprise. Many online users speculated that Vicky might have been informing Meera about the passing of her cousin Mannara Chopra's father — a piece of news that surfaced around the same time. However, it wasn't the conversation itself that lit up social media, but Ankita's visible reaction as the camera captured her observing them. She was seen staring intently at Meera for several seconds before turning her face away. Later in the clip, Ankita is seen whispering something to Vicky, who stood quietly behind her. This subtle moment quickly set the internet buzzing. Was it a moment of discomfort? Jealousy? Or just an awkward camera angle? While the reason remains unclear, netizens were quick to decode her body language. 'As a wife, jealousy is a normal feeling,' one user commented. Another quipped, 'Her expressions say it all — Vicky, good luck reaching home in one piece!' Ankita and Vicky tied the knot in December 2021 and grabbed headlines during their stint on Bigg Boss 17, where their frequent arguments became a major highlight. At one point, they even hinted at divorce on the show. However, once out of the reality bubble, the couple reassured fans that they had reconciled and were on solid ground. Currently, the two are co-starring in the light-hearted cooking reality show Laughter Chefs Season 2, appearing more in sync than ever — despite viral moments like these.
