In a recent Bigg Boss 17 episode, actor Ankita Lokhande talked candidly about her split with her late ex-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput. Comedian Munawar Faruqui asked about Sushant and whether there wasn’t a significant cause for their breakup as they were chatting in the yard.
Ankita answered, “No, there was no reason. I was blank. Ek raat mein cheezein palti meri life mein (Things changed in my life overnight).
She added, “Woh (Sushant) ek dum ek raat mein gayab ho gaya. Success mil rahi thi toh log uske kaan bhar rahe the. But theek hai. Woh uska matter tha. Mainay usko kabhi roka bhi nahi. (He suddenly disappeared. He was getting success so people were trying to manipulate him. But it’s okay. It was his call. I didn’t say much.)”
Before breaking up in 2016, Ankita and Sushant had been together for about six years. They came together while working on the highly successful film “Pavitra Rishta.”
The date of Sushant’s death was June 14, 2020. His flat in Mumbai was discovered to be empty.
Ankita, along with her spouse Vicky Jain, joined Salman Khan’s reality programme, Bigg Boss 17, in the interim.
