Sushant would get badly affected by things written about him: Ankita Lokhande

Talking about the nature of Sushant Singh Rajput, actor Ankita Lokhande said that the late actor was very sensitive and emotional, and would get affected by things that were said or written about him.

Mumbai:Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande recently revealed that he would get badly affected by the things written about him. She reportedly said that the M.S. Dhoni starrer was very sensitive and emotional about his career.

In an interview with a leading portal, Ankita said, "The Sushant I knew and remember, when he was with me, he used to chat with his fans on Twitter for one hour every day. I used to ask him, ‘Why do you do that? How does he matter?’ He only had one reply. He would say ‘It makes a difference because I only have my fans who can help me climb the ladder of success. I don't have anyone else (to seek help from). If anyone makes my films successful, it would be my fans. So it does matter what they think of me because I am an outsider and if I falter at any step, I have no one to lend a helping hand. So I want to know what people think of me.’ That's fair enough."

When asked whether Sushant would have been affected by the blind items written about him, the Manikarnika actor said, "Very badly. Sushant was very sensitive and very emotional about his career and everything. He was even affected by what people used to say about our relationship. He would be affected by what people would write about him. A boy, who came from outside and made it big solely due to his hard work, how would he be unaffected by such things?"

"Earlier, I used to be there to comfort him. I used to handle him and tell him, ‘It is okay, you can’t worry and keep everyone happy.’ I used to tell him that. But afterwards, things spiralled further. What you are telling me today, I didn’t know such things used to be written about him. But I am 1000% sure that he must have been affected. He would be affected by the smallest of things. His image was very valuable to him because he made it entirely on his own merit," she added.

Meanwhile, Ankita has earlier denied that the Kedarnath starrer was in depression. She said that he was a jovial person and it was not possible for him to be depressed about anything.
