Micah Lomu and Ankita Karungalekar were said to be “well underway” in recording the hugely popular show when the plug was pulled.

But why?
MAFS Australia 2026 mystery couple ‘deleted’
Micha and his bride Ankita were said to have filmed their full wedding day at Lindesay House in Sydney’s Darling Point for this year’s series of MAFS Australia.

The publication decided not to publish the exact allegations. But both Micha and Ankita strenuously deny any wrongdoing.
Micha said: “They told me it was in my best interest to be dismissed from the show for my mental health.
“But by doing that, they practically gave validation that I’d done something wrong. There was no visual proof, no history of wrongdoing, nothing. I was painted as someone to be scared of.”
Ankita, meanwhile, said she was “blindsided” to have been given the chop. The couple also claim the rest of the 2026 cast were told to pretend they’d ‘never met them’.

Ankita speaks out
Ankita has since taken to Instagram and shared a video reel of her apparent MAFS Australia experience.
She captioned it: “In your 20s, you’ll marry a stranger on a TV show and not even get aired. But it’s important to take that opportunity cause at least your parents will never force you an arranged marriage ever again.”
The footage shows her wearing a stunning duck egg blue gown while clutching a bouquet of flowers. Happy pictures of herself and Micah brandishing their wedding rings are also included.
Micah’s mother replied with red emoji hearts, adding: “My almost daughter inlaw.”
Ankita then responded, confirming she is still with Micah. She wrote back to his mum: “Love you to the core.”
Another follower added: “I just hate they didnt air your mafs one.” Ankita replied with a crying face emoji.
