Show Notes
When Ankita Karungalekar signed on for the 2026 season of Married At First Sight, she could never have predicted how dramatically her journey would unfold.
The Miss India Australia runner-up filmed her bachelorette party, wedding, and honeymoon before producers abruptly informed her that she and her on-screen ‘husband’ were being removed from the experiment — and would be edited out of the show entirely.
In this explosive interview, Ankita breaks her silence on why she was cut, whether she was offered the chance to return as an intruder, and where things now stand between her and her MAFS ‘husband’ after filming wrapped.
Ankita Karungalekar, it’s time to confess.
