Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande has finally opened up on the actor’s demise and also stated that she could not accept the ‘depression’ narrative. She also said that SSR was a ‘happy-go-lucky guy’ and could not commit suicide.
Talking to Republic TV, the actress said, “Sushant was not the guy who could commit suicide. We have seen worse situations when we were together. He was a happy-go-lucky guy. How much ever I know him, he wasn’t a depressed guy. I have not seen a person like Sushant, a guy who used to write his own dreams, he had a diary… He had his 5-year plan — what he wants to do, how he will look, etc. And exactly after 5 years, he had fulfilled all of them. And when terms like ‘depression’ are used after his name… it is heartbreaking. He might be upset, anxious, yes, but depression is a big word. Calling someone ‘bipolar’ is a big thing,” Ankita said.
“The Sushant that I know — he came from a small town. He established himself on his own. He has taught me so many things, he taught me acting. Kisi ko pata bhi hai Sushant kaun aur kya tha (does anybody even know who the real Sushant was)? Everyone is writing their own portrayal of how ‘depressed’ he was, it hurts reading all of this,” said Ankita.
Lastly, Ankita said, she wants people to remember Sushant Singh Rajput a hero, “I don’t want people to remember him as a depressed guy, he was a hero. He was an inspiration.”
The duo met on the sets of the TV show, Pavitra Rishta in 2009, fell in love, and soon moved in together, and were even planning to get married. However, the two separated their ways in 2016.
