They dated each other for a long time!

In the ongoing drama of Bigg Boss 17, Ankita Lokhande finds herself in the spotlight, not for strategic gameplay, but for her candid mentions of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The actress, who was once romantically involved with Sushant, has been sharing heartfelt anecdotes and revelations about their past relationship during her stay in the Bigg Boss house. Recently, when the media entered the Bigg Boss house to interact with the contestants, Ankita faced questions about whether she strategically brought up Sushant’s name to appeal to his fan base. Dismissing any such notion, Ankita clarified that her discussions about Sushant stem from a genuine place, emphasizing that he was a genuinely good person.

Addressing the query, Ankita stated that no, it is nothing like that. Since Abhishek and her used to keep talking about Sushant as the former considers Sushant as his idol and really looks up to him and wants to be like him and considers him as his inspiration as well, she thought if she could tell some more good things about Sushant Singh Rajput through this platform, then why not? Ankita also mentioned how she has always spoken about the good things only when it came to Sushant. Ankita continued, expressing her pride in discussing Sushant’s positive attributes. She said that Sushant has done many good deeds and she can speak about it because I have seen those things and been with him during those times. She also added that she has explained the same about him as well and that she feels very proud of Sushant wherever she is and finds nothing wrong with that.

She also said that if there is a young guy who wants to be like him (talking about Abhishek Kumar) then I will talk to him or anyone about Sushant then.
