Ankita Lokhande was Sushant Singh Rajput's 'shock absorber': Producer Vikas Gupta
Mumbai/IBNS: Turning the wheels back to the days when late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was working on television, producer Vikas Gupta shared an old picture on Instagram where onscreen MS Dhoni was looking cheerful with his then girlfriend Ankita Lokhande.
Gupta took to Instagram to post a picture where Sushant can be seen with Ankita and several others.
In a long post, Gupta suggested how Sushant was tension-free when he was around Ankita.
An excerpt from the post reads, "I want to remember him as this grinning boy who was tension free cause tension Ankita ko dekh kar bhaag jaati thi #ankitalokhande you were the shock Absorber and wouldn’t leave him till he has the smile on his face again."
Sushant and Ankita were the lead actors in daily soap 'Pavitra Rishta' which was aired on television between 2009 and 2014.
Sushant, who committed suicide at his flat in Mumbai's Bandra on Sunday afternoon, was reportedly suffering from depression for past several months.
Sushant's suicide has led his fans as well as several film personalities to call out the Bollywood biggies including Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt for allegedly encouraging "nepotism", "favouritism" and controlling power in the Hindi film industry.
Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has said Mumbai police will probe into the "professional rivalry" which had allegedly led Sushant to commit suicide.
Reportedly, a case has been filed in Bihar against a number of influential people of Bollywood including Salman, Karan, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and producer Ekta Kapoor.
