Ankita's
Parents
Are
Her
Pillars
Of
Strength
Ankita
Lokhande
is
all
set
to
make
her
entry
into
Bollywood
with
the
release
of
her
first
big
screen
project,
Manikarnika.
Grateful
for
the
journey
she
has
had
so
far,
Ankita
told
IANS
that
she
owes
her
success
to
her
parents.
She
said,
"I
owe
every
bit
of
my
career
and
appreciation
I
have
been
receiving
to
my
parents,
they
have
been
my
pillars
of
strength
through
all
the
ups
and
downs."
'I
Am
Overwhelmed
To
See
The
Pride
In
My
Parents' Eyes'
Her
parents
accompanied
her
on
the
promotions,
press
conferences
and
other
visits
for
Manikarnika
when
Ankita
visited
Indore.
Apparently,
her
parents
were
overwhelmed
with
the
reception
Ankita
got
in
during
her
visits
to
her
hometown.
"They
have
always
taught
me
to
stand
for
what
is
right
and
never
let
anyone
bring
you
down.
I
am
overwhelmed
to
see
the
pride
in
my
parents'
eyes,"
she
added.
They
Have
Always
Had
Her
Back
"Every
time
I
was
low,
they
were
there
to
boost
my
self-esteem.
I
started
out
very
young
on
the
small
screen
and
they
were
immensely
happy
even
back
then
and
now
I
am
finally
here
making
my
Bollywood
debut
all
I
can
say
is
I
have
never
seen
them
happier.
I
thank
my
parents
for
being
the
best
parents.
I
am
truly
blessed."
'Jhalkari
Bai' Looks
Awe
Inspiring
Ankita
will
be
playing
the
role
of
Jhalkari
Bai
in
Manikarnika.
Jhalkari
Bai
who
was
one
of
Laxmibai's
most
trusted
aide,
was
also
a
fierce
warrior
who
used
to
sometimes
disguise
herself
as
the
queen
and
fight
her
enemies.
When
the
first
look
of
Ankita
as
Jhalkari
Bai
came
out,
everyone
was
in
awe
of
the
image.
Her
ex-boyfriend
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
even
took
to
his
social
media
to
congratulate
Ankita
and
wrote,
"It
looks
absolutely
great
Ankita.
I
am
extremely
happy
to
see
this.
May
God
bless
you
with
lots
of
success
and
happiness."
