Ankita Lokhande opened up about Sushant Singh Rajput yet again in the new episode of Bigg Boss 17. This time around, she spoke about watching him perform intimate scenes and the impact it had on her. Ankita revealed that she was dating Sushant when he starred in Shuddh Desi Romance and PK, both the films featured Sushant sharing intimate moments with Parineeti Chopra, Vaani Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, respectively. Ankita said that while she knew about the intimate scenes, she was uncomfortable when she watched them play out.
“(When I watched PK), mujhe chakkar aa gaye the (I got dizzy),” Ankita told Abhishek Kumar and Ayesha Khan, referring to her reaction watching Sushant kissing Anushka in the film. However, she revealed that she broke down when she watched him having multiple intimate scenes in Shuddh Desi Romance. She said that Sushant had booked an entire hall for her to watch the film and she was heartbroken to see him kiss other women.
“We went to watch the film. He booked the entire theatre hall in Yash Raj Studios. There was nobody except me and Sushant. Because he couldn’t watch it with anyone because he knew I would lose it,” she said, adding that she scratched Sushant’s hand with her nails while watching the scenes.
“He ran away and didn’t come. I watched the full film and after watching all the scenes I cried so much after reaching home. Even Sushant cried. He said, ‘I am sorry bubu. Abb nahi karunga (I am sorry baby. I won’t do it again),” Ankita added. The actress confessed that after watching the film, she would get flashbacks on the scenes when she would get intimate with Sushant and would push him away.
Speaking about her husband Vicky Jain, Ankita said that he cannot watch intimate scenes on the screen. “Vicky toh bilkul nahi dekh sakta (Vicky will never watch it). Vicky ne kuch bhi dekh liya na galat. Vicky ka dimaag. Kuch nahi garam ho raha yaha. (If Vicky watches such scenes, he loses it. His angry side is not yet out). He doesn’t like it,” she said.
Ankita dated Sushant for over seven years before they parted ways. Ankita is now married to Vicky and they are seen together in Bigg Boss 17. After Sushant’s shocking death in 2020, Ankita has often spoken about the late actor.
