In 2016, the television fans were left frenzied for a moment when Ankita Lokhande had hinted of dying love in a cryptic tweet and Sushant Singh Rajput too, gave controversial statements to media regarding his love life. Soon they confirmed their separation when things took an ugly turn between them and they had to end their six years of relationship. Met on the sets of Pavitra Rishta, Sushant and Ankita fell in love while working together but they weren’t meant to be together.

In 2018, Sushant Singh Rajput was linked-up with his Kedarnath co-star, Sara Ali Khan and it all started when the latter had cut short one of her trips to be a part of former’s birthday. According to a source quoted by the India Today, "She dropped by his apartment at night with a cake, and they went on for dinner together after that. Sushant then dropped Sara home, and they snuck in some quality time together." But a few months later, reports had suggested that Sushant was miffed with Sara for her brewing closeness with Kartik Aaryan and had unfollowed her on social media.
And now, in 2019, Sushant Singh Rajput is rumoured to be in a relationship with Jalebi star, Rhea Chakraborty. In May 2019, a picture that Sushant had posted on his Instagram handle with his hand on Rhea’s shoulder as they both let out a peal of heartfelt laughter, had grabbed many eyeballs. And a few days back, Rhea and Sushant’s individual pictures with similar backgrounds from the valleys of Ladakh, had made everyone wonder if they were holidaying together there.
On July 1, 2019, Rhea Chakraborty turned a year older and celebrated her birthday with her close ones, which undoubtedly included the ‘special’ person in her life, Sushant Singh Rajput. A day before Rhea’s birthday, Sushant had posted a picture of himself on Instagram stating that he has an important task at hand i.e. planning an important party. Seems like Sushant aced in planning his alleged muse, Rhea’s birthday party as the video that the birthday girl had shared on her Instagram gives us a glimpse of her bash, which was quite an affair with fireworks and cakes. Rhea captioned it as, "Gratitude. Happy happy to me, so much excitement = tiny glitch in this video! Ps - I got a new haircut". Rhea also shared a picture with Sushant and other friends calling it "Happiest Birthday".

Speaking about the love angle between Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty, a source close to the couple had shared with Pinkvilla, “Sushant is currently seeing Rhea Chakraborty. They have known each other for a while and they hit it off really well in the last few weeks. In fact, things moved from one thing to the other quite quickly and now, they are already dating each other.”
Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput has made his entry in Bollywood, his infamous breakup with longtime live-in partner, Ankita Lokhande and linkups with Raabta co-star, Kriti Sanon and Kedarnath co-star, Sara Ali Khan have been all out in the headlines. Speaking about breakups and relationships, Sushant had once stated in an interview, "It is very important to give time to a relationship. It can sustain if there are no expectations. When you are in love you care about your partner and wish for good memories with him or her. Therefore time is like an investment in any relationship. We run after psychological security which will never last long. Most of the actors only want to speak about themselves and have become self-obsessed. They want to be heard only. Today, people no longer have listening power."
In yet another interview with Filmfare in 2017, Rhea Chakraborty had revealed if she is a ‘no strings attached’ or a ‘long term relationships’ kind of a person. She was then quoted as saying, “I’m closer to the no-strings-attached kind. I’m not looking at falling in love, dating someone or getting married for the next many years. Even if I’m interested in someone, I don’t expect them to marry me. At least not right now.” Further sharing about her ideal date, Rhea had then remarked, “Some with good looks, intelligence, someone funny, someone who smells good and who allows me to go Dutch on the bill.” (Also Read: Ravi Dubey And Sargun Mehta Get Stranded At Colombo Airport Due To Mumbai Rains, Unable To Fly Back)
