Sushant and Ankita had worked together as the leads in Pavitra Rishta and their on-screen chemistry had turned into a real-life jodi. Their fans were delighted to see their bond based on utter maturity and understanding. It always felt like they are made for each other. The news of their break-up after their 6-year relationship had come as a shocker to their fans, the same as the news of the sudden demise of SSR. It is more heartbreaking to know that SSR had always missed Ankita post their breakup and had always felt in-debited to her. Ankita is finding it hard to cope up with the loss and now their mutual friend, Sandip Ssingh has opened up about her bond with Sushant’s family.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s director friend, Sandip Ssingh was the one, who took care of his final rites, right from the moment he got to know about his sudden demise. In an interview with The Times of India, Sandip talked about Ankita’s equation with Sushant’s family. Sandip shared that despite their breakup, Ankita has always stayed in touch with Sushant’s family and they all loved her. He said, “Ankita had spent the maximum time with him in the last 10 years or so. According to me, apart from his family, it has hit her the most. When they were together, she took care of him like no one else ever did. The day it happened, I knew she would be deeply impacted. She was always in touch with the family and they all loved her. She is family for them, they connect with her. It was important for her to meet the family before they went back to Patna."
In an interview with SpotboyE, Sandip Ssingh was asked about Ankita Lokhande’s present state of mind as she had visited SSR’s family in Mumbai and Patna as well. Sandip had revealed that Ankita is still not over the loss and even now ends up crying. Sandip had said, “I spoke to her today, finally. I was away from her for 3-4 days for a reason and today also when she called me, she started crying. And I can't take it anymore because I don't want to see her like that. But she is a strong girl and a God's child. Her talent is a blessing just like Sushant. I can't tell you what they meant to each other.” (Don't Miss: Madhuri Dixit Celebrates Her Mom's Birthday As Her Husband Plays Guitar And Her Sons Sing The Song)

Revealing how Ankita used to take care of Sushant like a mother, he had said, “Ankita was not his girlfriend. She has taken the place of his mother in his life. In twenty years of my journey in the industry, I have never seen a girl like her. She has taken care of him like nobody else. She could have been the only one who could have saved him.”
