Recently, Lokhande also gave interviews to some leading news channels. In one of her interviews, she revealed that when both of them were together, the late actor had no connection with Mahesh Bhatt. The ‘Manikarnika’ actress also added that she is unaware of the connection between Rhea Chakraborty and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt so she refrained from commenting on it. She said, “When I was with Sushant, there was no link connecting him to the Bhatts”.
Ankita Lokhande, in one of her interviews with a leading news channel, elucidated that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had offered them a film together. They had their reasons for not doing the film. She also defended Ekta Kapoor saying that when the late actor decided to leave her show ‘Pavitra Rishta’ and embark on his journey towards movies, the latter did not stand in his way. When questioned about Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar, she said that Aditya Chopra supported the ‘Dil Bechara’ actor in every way possible but was unaware of Sushant’s deal with Karan Johar.
“Karan Johar ke time mein nahi thi Sushant ke saath. So mein uspe comment nahi kar sakti. But yes maam, Adi sir ke saath jab Sushant Yash Raj mein the, tab mein thi. Adi Sir ne bhi unko bohot support kiya hai. Sushant ko jab bhi koi bhi problem hoti thi, he used to call Adi Sir and say 'Sir I want to meet you.' He used to call Sushant ussi din, aisa bhi nahi chaar-paanch din late bulate the. He used to directly call and Sushant used to go and meet. Jo problems hoti thi, he used to talk directly to Adi Sir. Mein bhi sun rahi hoon bohot cheeze upar niche ho rahi. Aur mein issliye clear karna chahti hoon kyun ki yeh mere samne hue hain. Agar mujhe pata hi nahi hai Karan Johar ke saath kya deal hui, I have no idea about it but yes Aditya Chopra, Ekta Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, yeh teen jab cheeze horahi thi tab mein Sushant ke saath thi, I have seen that. They were all very supportive” said the ‘Baaghi 3’ actress.
