Ankita
Lokhande
and
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
were
in
a
relationship
for
over
six
years
and
were
one
of
the
popular
couples
on
Indian
television.
However,
fans
were
in
for
a
shock
when
the
lovebirds
parted
ways
in
2016.
Recently,
in
a
tete-a-tete
with
Bollywood
Bubble,
the
Pavitra
Rishta
actress
revealed
that
she
had
kept
Sushant's
pictures
in
her
house
even
after
their
break-up.
Ankita
revealed
that
people
would
come
over
and
urge
her
about
them,
but
she
did
not
believe
in
'(running)
away
from
the
situation'.
The
entertainment
portal
quoted
Ankita
as
saying,
"Give
me
time,
yaar.
I
need
my
time.
I
am
not
somebody...
Main
2.5
saal
tak
unke
saath
rahi
hoon
(I
have
lived
with
him
for
two-and-a-half
years).
I
have
lived
my
life
with
those
pictures."
Ankita
said
that
she
kept
those
photographs
until
she
was
'done'
and
could
accommodate
someone
else
in
her
life.
Revealing
the
reason
behind
letting
the
pictures
remain
in
the
house,
Ankita
said
that
she
wanted
to
strengthen
herself
so
that
she
could
face
Sushant
if
she
ever
crossed
paths
with
him.
"I
am
not
somebody
who
will
run
away
from
the
situation.
I
was
getting
up
and
facing
that
thing
every
day
so
that
agar
Sushant
kabhi
mere
saamne
aaye
toh
(if
Sushant
ever
comes
in
front
of
me)
I
face
him
strongly.
That
was
my
thought
process," Ankita
told
Bollywood
Bubble.
Eventually,
Ankita
was
comfortable
with
the
idea
of
taking
Sushant's
pictures
down
after
she
met
her
current
boyfriend
Vicky
Jain.
"I
faced
it
every
single
day.
Ek
din
aaya
(There
came
a
day)
when
I
realised
that
now
I
am
done,
now
I
need
to
remove
the
pictures.
And
I
removed
it.
I
felt
that
ek
jagah
khali
hogi
tabhi
toh
doosri
pictures
aayegi
(only
when
I
create
space
by
removing
those
pictures
that
I
can
accommodate
new
pictures).
I
met
Vicky
and
he
is
in
my
life.
I
am
very,
very,
very
happy
with
him,"
Ankita
told
the
portal
adding
that
her
beau
is
very
"balanced."
