Viewers have voted the duo out of the show despite their impressive performances, and the judges - Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora Khan and Remo D'Souza - were quite shocked at the announcement, said a source.
In fact, Malaika once even complimented them for their "sizzling chemistry".
Ankita, known as Archana of "Pavitra Rishta", didn't take the ouster in her stride and ran off the sets. Her beau and onscreen co-star Sushant Singh Rajput, who has been performing consistently well in the dance show, ran after her to console her.
"Sasuraal Genda Phool" actress Ragini Khanna was in the danger zone along with Ankita, who was later heard saying - "How could I be eliminated?"
The episode featuring her elimination will be on air Monday.
Yana Gupta will re-enter the show as a wildcard entry on Tuesday's episode.
