TV actor Ankit Gupta has threatened legal action against those spreading defamatory content. The actor has been often associated with Bigg Boss Season 16 co-contestant Priyanka Chahar Chaoudhary. The actor has now shared an official statement via his social media account, debunking all rumours.

Ankit Gupta took to his Instagram handle and wrote, "There comes a point where silence starts to feel like consent and I'm no longer okay with that. Over the past few months, I've seen countless stories, edits, and assumptions being made about my personal life — with no truth, no context, and absolutely no respect for boundaries. The recent attempt to link me with someone I don't even know, just because they appeared in the same frame, is not just absurd - it's disturbing."

The statement further read, "Let me say this very clearly. I am a private person. What I choose to share, I share this intention. But what I will not accept is this growing culture of inventing narratives, linking me with strangers or using my name and face to gain views, likes and attention."

"From this point on, any individual or platform spreading false, defamatory or invasive content about me will be met with legal action - including defamation cases. Having a public life does not mean my dignity is public property. So let's be clear: I'm not here to play along, I'm here to protect what's mine. So before you publish or forward anything ask yourself: is it real, is it respectful, or is it nonsense?" he said.
