The biggest challenge he faced was pulling down all the additional kilos and he took almost a year to do so. However, he was strong-willed and made sure he gets back in shape. According to him, `While it was a challenge to get rid of the extra weight, I never let it come in my way and while losing weight I was doing the famous theatre play"Court Marshal" which I did for 3 years as BD Kapoor.` In spite, of the unfortunate call-off, Ankit has no bitterness towards the producer, in fact, they share a great relationship with each other even after the incident. He says" sometimes unfortunate things happen and its no one's fault. This is the only production house I am close to. These are the best people to work with and I am dying to work with them again".

Ankit is currently portraying Sunny's Character in the fantasy series "Divya Drishti" which airs on Star Plus. Sunny is a young guy who has it all in life. Starring opposite Mansi Srivastava, Ankit will be seen as the son of a rich business tycoon, who has a carefree attitude towards life. Ankit says, ` I am so glad to be a part of 'Divya Drishti'. The concept of the show is really intriguing and I love my character. I am super excited and a little nervous, too, as I want it to be perfect.`
