After Denying Rhea Chakraborty’s Old Statement, Ankita Lokhande Says Sushant Was Claustrophobic

New Delhi: In the Bigg Boss 17 house, Ankita Lokhande frequently talks about Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor claimed that Sushant Singh Rajput was “claustrophobic” in a recent episode of the controversial reality show. Fans of the deceased actor were disappointed by this. 

An X (formerly known as Twitter) handle Bigg Boss Tak shared a post in which she stated that although Ankita is now labeling Sushant as “claustrophobic,” in 2020 she reacted severely against Rhea Chakraborty for making the same claim. Ankita posted a screenshot of her post on August 27, 2020, on the X account.

“Is this #claustrophobia? You always wanted to fly and you did it and we all are proud of you,” the tweet read.


In an interview, actor Rhea Chakraborty stated that her late boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput felt claustrophobia episodes during flights and needed medication to treat them. Several people, including his ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande, refuted her claim.

Later, a video of Sushant appeared online, in which he admits to having trouble sleeping and being claustrophobic. Sushant was asked to play the game of two truths and a lie during a 2015 video interview with Zee Cafe. Sushant gave three statements about himself, one of which was untrue: 1. That he has claustrophobia; 2. That he naps for six hours each day; and 3. That he was a bad singer. The second fact, he later disclosed, was a lie. He said that he had insomnia and could only get two hours of sleep every day.

In her interview with India Today, Rhea said, “Europe ke trip jaane wale din Sushant ne mujhe bola ki usko flight mein baithne se bohot claustrophobia hai aur uske liye woh ek dawai leta hai jiska naam hai Modafinil. Uske paas woh dawai humesha rehti thi aur flight pe jaane se pehle usne woh dawai khud hi le li (The day we were to leave for our Europe trip, Sushant told me that he feels very claustrophobic on flights and he takes a medicine for it called Modafinil. He always had that medicine with him and before getting on the flight, he took it himself). 

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020. His father accused Rhea, her family, and a few other people of abetting suicide in a formal complaint.
