Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput used to be one of the much-loved couples in the television industry. The duo crossed paths during the shoot of their serial, Pavitra Rishta, which was the audience's favourite show back then. Moreover, it was the screen portrayals by Sushant and Ankita as 'Manav' and 'Archana' that melted zillions of hearts. Not only on screens, but Sushant and Ankita were also a real-life couple who dated for seven long years, and then they called it quits, leaving everyone's hearts broken. Fast forward to now, Ankita is married to Vicky Jain, and on her professional front, she is basking in the glory of being the 3rd runner-up in Bigg Boss 17.
Ankita Lokhande, during her stay in BB 17 house, talked about Sushant Singh Rajput a couple of times, for which she received a lot of criticism, as she had been accused of gaining sympathy while using her ex-beau and the late actor's name. However, she slammed all the criticism recently and stated that she doesn't need anyone's permission to talk good stuff about a person who is no more in the world but has an impact on people's hearts. Amid this, we stumbled upon an old video of Sushant and Ankita, and it instantly left us nostalgic. The video was seemingly from the duo's dating days.
