In 2020, after Sushant’s death, when Rhea Chakraborty claimed that the actor was claustrophobic, Ankita denied it and shared a video of Sushant flying an Airplane. Taking an indirect dig at Rhea, Ankita posted a screengrab and tweeted:
“Is this #claustrophobia? You always wanted to fly and you did it and we all are proud of you.”
As soon as the clip, in which Ankita spoke about Sushant being claustrophobic surfaced on social media, netizens dug out her old tweet and called her fake. Many social media users also claimed that Ankita is playing the sympathy card by talking about Sushant again and again. One of the users wrote, “She wants to play sympathy card on his name.... always yaha tho koi zarurat be nehi tha fir be uska name lai kar samja rhi hai.....as I said earlier also...apnai husband Sai zayada wo sushant ka nam laiti hai.”

"Yes, for 7 years. Just after one month of Pavitra Rishta, we started dating. Even he must have been in pain, I'm sure. But it was very painful for me because he was moving ahead in something, and I used to feel left out. Even he didn't know that this would happen."
