They say, marriages are made in heaven, but to make a relationship work on earth, it needs constant efforts and commitment to sail through every day together. Not every day in a relationship is a bed of roses and it is how you stand by each other during the tough times that prove the worth of your love. And not every relationship is meant to be forever. Though Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande had parted ways for the reasons best known to them, when they're together, they were sheer goals!

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande's Pavitra Rishta co-star, Prarthana Behere, had revealed in a Times Of India interview, how the late actor's ex has reacted to the news. When the reports of Sushant suicide had circulated on their Pavitra Rishta WhatsApp groups, Prarthana had called Ankita and narrating the situation, had said, "The messages started flashing on our Pavitra Rishta Whatsapp group and I saw very late. It took me time to figure out what is happening. So, I called up Ankita and she was crying and I was completely clueless whom should I call now. Then I called Mahesh Shetty, he was also crying and he was going to see him. I asked him if even I should come along because he was our friend yaar. It doesn't matter we were not in touch with each other since the last 5 years but we have spent such a lovely time together. I treated him as my elder brother."
Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande have been the talk of the town for many years and post his demise, his stylist, Leepakshi Yellawadi had spilt some beans on how he had felt indebted to his ex-girlfriend. In an interview with ETimes, Leepakshi revealed how Sushant had felt indebted to Ankita for supporting him during his struggling days. She had said, “When we were talking he told me how indebted he was to his ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande. According to him, she supported him very much when they were on television and during their struggling days. He became a big star. This is a real quality in somebody to look back and even if you are not with that person, appreciate them for what they have done for you. Even though their relationship went sour, he had only good things to say about her. I was really fond of him. When I heard the news I was in disbelief and shaking. He had so many more stories to tell me. We all get busy. He just suddenly decided that okay I am going to go.” (Also Read: Sushant Singh Rajput's Father Reveals He Wasn't Aware Of Actor's Depression But Knew He'd Felt 'Low')
