Bigg Boss 16's Ankit Gupta Wishes To Explore Lakshadweep Islands Soon
Ankit Gupta has said that he stands by Indian Tourism and wishes to explore the Lakshadweep Islands.

PM Modi’s recent visit to Lakshadweep has led to diplomatic tension between India and the Maldives. After photos of PM Modi enjoying his vacation at the picturesque beaches of the island came to light, a few Maldivian leaders made derogatory remarks. In the wake of such derogatory remarks, many Bollywood celebrities, television stars, and even members of the cricket fraternity assembled under one roof to encourage Lakshadweep’s tourism, highlighting the coastal region’s pristine beauty and hospitality. Now, Bigg Boss 16 contestant Ankit Gupta has joined the bandwagon, asserting that he stands by “Indian Tourism”.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Ankit Gupta said it was “disheartening” to witness the political and public figures of the Maldives island ill-speaking about India. “It’s disheartening to witness negative remarks about India from Maldivian public figures. I stand by Indian Tourism and eagerly anticipate exploring the enchanting Lakshadweep Islands soon! Explore Indian islands!” he said.

On January 4, PM Modi dropped a carousel of pictures on X (formerly Twitter) from his Lakshadweep visit. He admired the beauty of the pristine beaches and expressed gratitude to the islanders who welcomed him warmly, upon his arrival. “Recently, I had the opportunity to be among the people of Lakshadweep. I am still in awe of the stunning beauty of its islands and the incredible warmth of its people. I had the opportunity to interact with people in Agatti, Bangaram, and Kavaratti. I thank the people of the islands for their hospitality. Here are some glimpses, including aerial glimpses from Lakshadweep,” read his note.

In response to the India-Maldives row, Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Kartik Aaryan, Shraddha Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, and Varun Dhawan among others have come out in support of India, urging tourist to explore the natural beauty of the country’s umpteen islands. Prominent television personalities like Hina Khan, Ektaa Kapoor, Rupali Ganguly, and Rupali Ganguly also joined the cause.
