Ankita's support and standing for Sushant have been lauded by many, and some also called her a true inspiration. Today, let’s take a look at the posts Ankita shared on social media after Sushant Singh Rajput's demise.
Standing by his family
Ankita Lokhande kept a low-profile after Sushant's demise. She was away from the media glare for almost a month after the tragic incident and didn't use social media as well. Her first post came exactly a month after Sushant's death, on July 14, wherein she shared a photo of a diya she lit in her house and wrote, 'Child of God.' A week after, yet another time, she shared a photo of a candle, as she hoped and prayed for strength. Without mentioning Sushant in her post, she wished he was smiling wherever he is.
After joining the campaign for Justice for Sushant, Ankita raised her voice and stood head-strong by Sushant's family to support them in their fight for justice.
Demanding CBI inquiry for Sushant Singh Rajput
After Sushant's death, many of his fans, friends and family members were left disheartened. They were unable to believe that a bright person like him could take his life. Soon, many discrepancies in Mumbai Police's investigations started coming out in the media. So, to raise their voice for justice and truth, many fans along with Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti and Kangana Ranaut demanded a CBI probe in Sushant's death.
They demanded the Central Bureau of Investigation to take over Sushant's case and solve the mystery around his death. A campaign '#CBI4SSR' took the internet by storm.
Ankita also backed Shweta in her fight and demanded a CBI probe for Sushant’s case. Taking to social media, Ankita shared a video in which she is seen holding a sheet of paper with ‘Justice for Sushant #CBI4SSR” written on it. Ankita said that she feels that the country would want to know what transpired with Sushant.
Clarifying allegations levelled against her
While fighting the battle of justice, Rhea Chakraborty levelled several allegations against Sushant's former girlfriend Ankita. From Sushant paying for Ankita's flat to the two being in touch after their separation, Rhea accused Ankita of not speaking the complete truth in front of people. However, Ankita did not stay quiet about Rhea's allegations and clarified everything with proof.
Ankita shared photos of her flat's registration and bank statement, squashing reports stating that Sushant had paid Rs 4.5 crore for an apartment in Malad, occupied by Ankita. Later, when Rhea claimed that Ankita and Sushant were in contact even after their breakup, Ankita clarified that she has never stated in any of her interviews that she had kept in touch with the late actor.
Sharing a picture of Sushant's mother
While the investigation is being carried out, Ankita shared a picture of Sushant's mother with a moving note for Sushant and left everyone emotional. She held a framed photograph of Sushant's mother in her hand, and wrote, 'Believe you both are together.' Sushant was very close to his mother and often posted about the emptiness he felt after her passing away.

In her first interview after Sushant's demise, Rhea claimed that the actor was suffering from claustrophobia, and had told about his problem to her during their trip to Europe. However, Ankita who knew Sushant for almost seven years did not buy Rhea's version and questioned her claustrophobia theory. Ankita shared a throwback video of Sushant flying a 'Flight Simulator' and took a dig at Rhea's claim. In the throwback video, Sushant can be seen trying his hands on the simulator and seems to have done a pretty good job of it. Slamming Rhea, Ankita wrote, 'Is this #claustrophobia? You always wanted to fly and you did it and we all are proud of you.'
