MUMBAI: Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput dated for many years before they broke up in 2016. In a recent interaction, the actress opened up about his death and how it affected her. She said that she could not come to terms with the tragic news for a few days but was subjected to online judgment from people as she did not dedicate a social media post for him right after his demise.
Moreover, Ankita had not attended Sushant's funeral as she could not see him like that.
She said she does not have the "guts" to write 'RIP' along with Sushant's photos. Ankita said, "People started judging me on not putting his picture on the same day he was gone. What do you expect from us? Koi apna chala jaata hai toh hum kya photo daalte hai (Do you put up a photo immediately after a loved one dies)? You won’t believe, till today, I have not ever posted any picture of Sushant with 'RIP'. I have no guts to put something like that for him. Because I can’t say, rest in peace, Sushant."
She added that she, her parents, and Sushant's family went through a lot after his death.
She said, "This thing will always be with me, Sushant ka jaana (his death). Now I have come to that point where I am normal. But we all have gone through so much -- his family, me, and my parents. I think the whole world was crying for him. Yesterday, there was this lady who came up to me and she was just crying. And sometimes I just feel like I can talk to him. So I was telling him, 'tumhare liye dekho log kitna…tumse kitna pyaar karte the (see how much everyone loved you)'."
