Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-girlfriend, Ankita Lokhande, has broken her silence on his death, says he could not have taken his own life, was not depressed

Actress Ankita Lokhande, Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-girlfriend, has broken her silence on late actor death, more than a month after he was found dead in his Bandra apartment. Ankita in an interview said that Sushant Singh Rajput could not have been ‘depressed’.  Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput met on the sets of their TV show Pavitra Rishta, and were in a relationship for 6 years until 2016.

Ankita Lokhande said, “Sushant Singh Rajput was not the guy who could commit suicide. We have seen worse situations when we were together. He was a happy-go-lucky guy.” Ankita continued, “How much ever I know him, he was not a depressed guy. I have not seen a person like Sushant Singh Rajput, a guy who used to write his own dreams, he had a diary... He had his five-year plan, what he wants to do, how he will look, etc. And exactly after five years, he had fulfilled them. And when things 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.”

“The Sushant Singh Rajput 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. 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,” late actor ex-girlfriend added. 

Ankita Lokhande continued, “He found happiness in small things. He wanted to do farming, I know this for sure... he told me if nothing else works out, I will make a short film. He was not a depressed guy, not at all. I do not know what the situation was... but I will keep repeating this. I don’t want people to remember him as a depressed guy, he was a hero. He was an inspiration.”
