Sushant Singh Rajput's Ex-Girlfriend Ankita Lokhande Finally Breaks Silence, Says 'I Cannot Believe The Depressed Narrative'

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment on the 14th of June. The post mortem report had revealed that he had died due to hanging and his medical files suggested that he had been undergoing treatment for depression at Hinduja hospital. Many refused to believe this and has suspected foul play behind his death. The actor's father, K.K. Singh has also filed an F.I.R against his girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty. While everyone who had been close to him had spoken up, his ex-girlfriend and Pavitra Rishta co-star, Ankita Lokhande had been silent. But now, she has spoken up.

Talking to Republic TV, the actress remembered how he was when they had been together and revealed that he was a positive person, with ambition and 5-year plans! She 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 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.”

She also added that he was incredibly creative, positive and above all had patience. "He wanted to do farming, I know this for sure... he told me agar kuch nai hua to main apni short film bana lunga. He was not a depressed guy, not at all. I don't want people to remember him as a depressed guy. Depression is a wrong word to use for Sushant. I have seen this man work so hard for himself. He started with theatres, then serial - he was a big star on TV, he was a Hero, he left TV when he was at his peak because he wanted something big. He tried films, he was a creative man. He did films. I cannot believe the 'depressed' narrative. He waited for 3 years for that one break in films. He was sitting at home. Not everyone has that patience. He had that patience," she added.

Apart from the Mumbai Police, the Bihar Police is also looking into the case now after Mr. K.K. Singh's F.I.R. Ankita and Sushant had been together for almost seven years before they parted ways in 2016.
