He addressed the issue directly on Instagram, labelling the assumptions about his personal life as baseless and disrespectful.
Ankit Gupta’s viral video sparked dating speculations
The buzz began after a video of Ankit exiting a Mumbai restaurant went viral, with a woman seen walking behind him. The clip instantly triggered rumours linking him to the unknown woman—fuelled because of reported breakup with close friend and fellow actor Priyanka Chahar Choudhary

What Ankit Gupta said about mystery girl rumours
Ankit clarified that he has no connection with the woman in the footage and found the speculation both absurd and unsettling. In a candid Instagram statement, he 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 Udaariyaan star made it clear that while he prefers to keep his private life guarded, he will not allow others to create a narrative for him. He took a firm stance against those attempting to use his name for engagement or visibility online.
Let me say this clearly: I am a private person. What I choose to share, I share with 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.”
Ankit Gupta warns of legal action
Ankit didn’t stop there. Addressing the bigger issue of digital invasion of privacy, the actor warned that any further circulation of false or defamatory material will be met with legal repercussions.
“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 just nonsense?”
Netizens react
Following his post, many from the television fraternity and fan community rallied behind Ankit’s bold move. Actress Tina Datta wrote,
“Proud of you buddy.. This was much needed… Unfortunately People lack basic etiquettes these days…”
One fan commented, “It’s time we respect those boundaries and stop the baseless gossip,” while another applauded his stand, writing, “Glad Ankit that you took a stand for yourself and it was absolutely required to do so.”
