Sushant
Singh
Rajput’s
ex-girlfriend,
Ankita
Lokhande,
has
finally
broken
her
silence
over
his
untimely
demise
to
the
Editor-in-Chief
of
Republic
TV,
Arnab
Goswami.
Ankita
refuted
the
depression
narrative
being
construed
around
his
passing
away.
The
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
“Sushant
was
not
the
guy
who
could
die
by
suicide.
We
have
seen
worse
situations
when
we
were
together.
He
was
a
happy-go-lucky
guy,
he
wasn’t
a
depressed
guy.
I
have
not
seen
a
person
like
Sushant,
a
guy
who
used
to
write
his
own
dreams,
he
had
a
diary...
He
had
his
5-year
plan
—
what
he
wants
to
do,
how
he
will
look,
etc.
And
exactly
after
5
years,
he
had
fulfilled
them.
And
when
things
like
'depression’
are
used
after
his
name...
it
is
heartbreaking.
He
might
be
upset,
anxious,
yes,
but
depression
is
a
big
word.
Calling
someone
'bipolar’
is
a
big
thing.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“The
Sushant
that
I
know
—
he
came
from
a
small
town.
He
established
himself
on
his
own.
He
has
taught
me
so
many
things,
he
taught
me
acting.
Kisi
ko
pata
bhi
hai
Sushant
kaun
aur
kya
tha
(does
anybody
even
know
who
the
real
Sushant
was)?
Everyone
is
writing
their
own
portrayal
of
how
'depressed’
he
was,
it
hurts
reading
all
of
this.”
On
being
quizzed
if
monetary
woes
could
have
caused
him
to
take
the
drastic
step,
the
actress
replied,
"I
want
to
tell
you
this.
Money
was
a
small
thing
for
Sushant
passion
was
bigger.
He
used
to
always
tell
me
even
if
everything
is
over
I
will
build
my
empire
again,
I
will
work
hard
once
again.
He
was
passionate
about
work
but
more
passionate
about
life.
He
used
to
do
everything
with
passion.
He
was
first
a
background
dancer
with
Shiamak.
He
always
used
to
say,
'Success
aur
failure
ke
beech
line
hoti
hai,
Dhoni
was
like
that
and
I
want
to
be
like
that.'
He
used
to
say
when
there
was
a
failure
Dhoni
is
calm
and
if
anything
is
good
he
still
used
to
be
calm.
He
said
if
there
was
a
failure
he
will
bounce
back.
He
used
to
find
happiness
in
small
things.
He
used
to
provide
education
to
kids,
stargaze,
this
was
his
happiness.
But
he
cannot
die
for
this.
He
cannot
die
for
this."
For
the
unversed,
Sushant
was
found
dead
in
his
Bandra
apartment
on
June
14.
Ankita
and
Sushant
first
became
popular
with
Ekta
Kapoor's
2009
show
Pavitra
Rishta
as
the
lead
pair.
