Ankita Lokhande is all set to pay a tribute to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput with a dance performance at an upcoming award show. Sharing a sneak-peek of her act, Ankita wrote, "This time it’s very different and difficult to perform. From me to u. it’s painful," and added a heart emoji. Ankita has been quite upfront about the whole situation and has lent all her support in the fight for justice. Ankita was in a six-year relationship with Sushant that ended in 2016. They starred together in ZeeTV serial Pavitra Rishta, where they fell for each other.
Sushant later dated actor Rhea Chakraborty and Ankita is currently in a relationship with Vicky Jain.Sushant died by suicide in June this year. Ankita was among the most vocal celebrities, demanding justice for his death and seeking CBI investigation into the suicide case. Ankita was criticised by VJ Shibani Dandekar for her stance on Rhea. Shibani had called Ankita a person wanting ‘2 seconds fame’. Ankita had replied saying that she was proud of being a TV actor, if that was the reason she was being run down.
