New Delhi: Actress Ankita Lokhande, who is currently a contestant on ‘Bigg Boss 1’7, has spoken about her ex-boyfriend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput many times on the show. She has been often seen sharing anecdotes from the past with housemates about the late actor and their relationship. On last night’s episode, she said that the late star used to maintain a diary where he would write about his dreams, and when he passed away she had the diary with her.
While talking to Isha Malviya, Ankita recalled the premiere night of Sushant’s debut film ‘Kai Po Che’, which was released in 2013.
“I got emotional after watching him on the big screen at the premiere of Kai Po Che. I can’t forget the moment as I cried a lot. He was very talented and hardworking,” she said.
An emotional Ankita then spoke about the diary and said that he had a bucket list.
“He had a bucket list. He fulfilled all his dreams. Jab wo gaya tha na, uski diary mere paas thi. He had written everything that he wanted to achieve in his life. He achieved everything,” said Ankita, who started dating Sushant on the sets of ‘Pavitra Rishta’.
“It is indeed a big achievement for a person who had no connection with the film industry whatsoever,” added the actress.
Earlier, the actor had also recalled their time together in ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ season 4. Both of them were contestants of the dance reality show, while Ankita was in top five, Sushant went up to become the runner-up of the show.
Abhishek asked Ankita about Sushant Singh Rajput, “Woh kaha tak pohuche they? (Where was he reached in the competition)?” Ankita replied, “He was in the top 2. I had told him to haar jaana beta. Tu jeet gaya na toh bohot problem ho jayegi. Usko pehla 30 mila tha, I had so many issues, I was like how did you get full score (I had told him to not win the show because it would have created problems for me. I had issues when he scored 30).”
Then, Isha asked Ankita who was Sushant’s dance partner on the show, the actor said, “She was a very good dancer. One day while dancing she jumped on him. Oh shit, godh me chadh gayi (she jumped on his lap). I was very possessive, av mai thik ho gayi hu thora. Av mai normal ho gayi hu (now I am better). I used to get angry about such small things.”
Ankita and Sushant met on the sets of their show ‘Pavitra Rishta’ and parted ways in 2016 after several years of dating.
