Sushant was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14 last year. The case is being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) conducting parallel investigations into the money laundering and drugs angles, respectively.
In an interview with a leading daily, Ankita talked about the negativity directed at her after Sushant’s death. “I can’t do anything. There is nothing in my hand. Logo ko lagta hai tab mujhe woh devi banaa dete hai, logo ko lagta hai tab mujhe utaar dete hai (When people feel like it, they make me into a Goddess, when they don’t, they take me off that pedestal),” she said.
“I don’t think I existed in Sushant’s life since the past four years. Kisi aur ka gussa mujhpe nikaalne ka koi matlab nahi hai (No point directing anger at me). I think everyone has been targeted throughout this process. And it is okay. I know what I stood for, I know what I feel. I know what I’ve gone through, so it is okay,” she added.
When asked about Sushant Singh Rajput’s and Rhea Chakarborty’s relationship, Ankita said, “I don’t know this girl, so what will I say? I didn’t even know about Sushant and Rhea’s relationship. I’ve never spoken about her anyway. God bless her wherever she is. I have not spoiled my relationship with anyone because there was no relation to begin with; the one whom I had a relationship with, I defended. I have no regrets.”
