Vikas Gupta claims that his relationship with Priyank lasted for about a year and a half. Talking about the trouble Priyank caused him, Vikas said:
He lived with me in this house for 1.5 years and then went to Bigg Boss 11 with me. After BB, he worked on one of my shows with me. But after the first schedule was completed, he started harassing me. He stopped coming to shoots and said his leg bones had swelled and he was in a lot of pain, but still had to go to shoots. Priyank said if he doesn’t undergo surgery within a month, he will have to have his leg amputated. I’ve been with teams that gave him some time because he was in pain. It’s been over 1.5 years and he still hasn’t had the surgery… I feel a huge loss for that show, people thought Priyank was such a lovely soul and despite the pain he was in, he was still working. I started getting blackmailed to post that Priyank is a great actor, otherwise I wouldn’t come to the shoot. No one bothers me the way he does on this show.

Vikas also claimed that Priyank mentally tortured him. Responding to Vikas Gupta’s allegations, Priyank said:
I don’t think too much about my past. I am a person who believes in moving on. But what I’m trying to say is, no one who claims to be your friend ever talks openly about your affairs. Matlab aap apne hai hi nahi agar aap duniya ko jaake bol rahe ho Maine iske liye ye kia, woh kiya. Matlab kun. Mai bahut achche se samaj gaya hu mere apne kaun hai aur aise log toh mere apne bilkul nahi hai. I’ve never talked about it, but this is the first time I’m revealing to you that the man came to apologize to me for what he had done. ”
Priyank said the whole incident had an emotional impact on him and that his parents were very supportive. He also said he was afraid to talk to his parents about the incident, sharing how his mother laughed it off.
