In an interview with the Bombay Times, Ankita Lokhande opened up about her ex-boyfriend, Sushant Singh Rajput's demise back on June 14, 2020, and what impact it had on her life. The actress admitted that it was a piece of nerve-wracking news for her and admitted that both she and her now-husband then-boyfriend, Vicky Jain were in immense shock after hearing about Sushant's death. However, she also talked about the way people were targeting Vicky and were commenting on social media that she only belonged to Sushant. Reflecting on how difficult it was for Vicky to deal with that situation and the hate he had received for no reason, Ankita shared many details about it. She said:
"In June 2020, Sushant passed away and people started trolling Vicky. They started saying, 'Ankita was best for Sushant and she should always be with Sushant'. Social media turned abusive towards Vicky telling him to leave me because I was good for Sushant. It is not easy for a man to watch his to-be wife giving interviews on her ex-boyfriend on television and talking about her past. There were different stories emerging everyday and I was right there talking about Sushant all the time."
Going further in the interview, when Ankita Lokhande was asked to reveal her husband, Vicky Jain's reaction to the way people were trolling him. Also, the way the media was publishing stories about her past with Sushant Singh Rajput, Ankita shared the way her husband had reacted to all those things back then. The Pavitra Rishta actress revealed that Vicky and his entire family were with her, and they had told her not to be worried about them. She also added that Vicky had even suggested to her that she should keep doing what's best for Sushant. Reflecting more on the generous side of Vicky, the doting wife said:

"Vicky comes from a very respectable family. I remember they called me and supported me saying, 'Don't worry, all will be well'. It was not only tough for Vicky, but my parents, too. Had it been some other guy, he would have quit, but Vicky stood there and became my strength and told me, 'Do whatever you think is best for Sushant' and that's why I could do my best for Sushant."

In the same interview, Ankita Lokhande emphasised on the fact that she had managed to raise her voice for her ex-boyfriend, Sushant Singh Rajput, because of Vicky Jain, who was her constant force and support in her battle for justice for her ex-boyfriend. However, Ankita clearly admitted that if she would've been in Vicky's place, she couldn't be able to see him talking about his ex-girlfriend. Reflecting on the same, she said:
"When Sushant died and I started talking about him, I was in a constant state of confusion whether I was doing the right thing, and Vicky was the one who supported me. Now it looks easy because it is in the past, but at that point, it was not easy. For six months, there were constant stories of my past with Sushant emerging. If I was in Vicky's position, I would not have been able to see him talking about his past with a woman. I had taken a stand for Sushant and I could do that because Vicky was on my side."
For the unversed, Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande had parted their ways in 2016, and it was in 2018 when the actress had met with Vicky Jain. After a series of meetings, they had fallen in love with each other and it was on December 14, 2021, when they had got married in a lavish wedding.
