Ankita Lokhande Breaks Silence On Talking About Ex-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput In Bigg Boss House

New Delhi: After participating in the reality show Bigg Boss 17, Ankita Lokhande has been in the news. The actor and her spouse, Vicky Jain, made an appearance on the show. The actor’s marriage was not the only thing getting attention; Ankita and Vicky were also made fun of for their ‘toxic relationship’. On social media, Ankita’s interactions with her mother-in-law were scrutinized and their relationship turned into a source of negative jokes and memes.

Ankita was also criticized on the internet for constantly bringing up her late boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput. She responded strongly to the criticism, saying that she didn’t need consent from anyone to be able to talk about Sushant.

Ankita Lokhande told ETimes “Mujhe kisi ke baare mein baat karne ke liye bhi kisi ki permission ki koi zarurat nahi [I don’t need anyone’s permission to talk]. If someone has done something really nice in their life, I would definitely discuss it. I used to discuss my father a lot in the Bigg Boss 17 house because I felt he was an integral part of my life.”

“Yes, I discussed Sushant as well kyunki agar mere saamne koi ladka baitha hai and he wants to be like his inspiration Sushant and if I know about Sushant then why won’t I speak or share information. I will definitely motivate that person. Agar koi insaan chala gaya aur usne bahut acchi cheezein ki hai life mein [If someone, who has passed away, has done good things in his lifetime] I don’t have a problem discussing, mere husband ko koi problem nahi hai, I’m not answerable to people,” the actor added.

Ankita Lokhande addressed her breakup with the actor on the show, saying, “There was no reason [for the breakup]. And I was blank. Ek raat main cheezay palti hain. Woh [Sushant Singh Rajput] ek dum ek raat mein gayab ho gaya. Success mil rahi thi toh log uske kaan bhar rahe the.Mainay usko kabhi roka bhi nahi.. But theek hai. Woh uska matter tha.”

Before splitting up in 2016, Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput had been together for seven years. When Sushant Singh Rajput passed away in 2020, a lot of his followers took offense at Ankita for addressing him—even in a flattering way—while he was dead.
