The private life of the late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput remains a fascinating subject for fans years after his death. Although the life story of this young man who had achieved stardom on Indian screens left an impression on countless people, his relationships became another major theme discussed by the masses. While everyone knew about his lovely affair with actress Ankita Lokhande, his relationship with Rhea Chakraborty came into existence later on. Of all the queries raised about his life, one major question that comes to mind is about his plans for marriage and his break-up with Ankita.
Was Sushant Singh Rajput Planning to Get Married?
Before he passed away in June 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput was apparently dating actress Rhea Chakraborty. Based on several pieces of information that came out at that time, Sushant and Rhea seemed to be planning on tying the knot sometime in the year, reportedly. In fact, some sources indicated that their wedding plans were set for November 2020.
Nonetheless, there never has been an official announcement regarding their marriage from both Sushant and Rhea. What is intriguing about Sushant’s story is that this is not the first time he considered marriage. Before Sushant and his now fiancée split ways, they planned to marry each other during their long-term relationship. At one point, marriage plans were supposedly underway for 2016.
The Love Story of Sushant and Ankita
The two actors got acquainted during the shooting of the famous TV series called Pavitra Rishta. The on-screen chemistry between the two led to the development of mutual feelings, resulting in a romantic couple that was one of the best-loved by fans of the medium.
The couple spent almost six years together and always expressed admiration for each other openly. It came as a surprise when their relationship ended back in 2016. There were many stories regarding the breakup; however, it seems that the true story is much more complicated than what has been told by the media.
Why Did Sushant and Ankita Break Up?
One of the main reasons why many people felt had led to their separation was the fact that both of their careers were changing drastically at that point in time. While Sushant moved from television to the field of Bollywood films, he became successful. Some of his popular movies were Kai Po Che! and M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.
In addition, he was one of the most talented actors in Bollywood. However, with all these changes, he had to face a tough schedule filled with hectic work and travel. On the other hand, there were rumors that Ankita wanted to settle down in her life.
Growing Emotional Distance
Like all successful partnerships, theirs was alleged to face problems because of life changes. The couple’s working life was believed to take a toll on the partnership. Sources from within the industry claimed that the problem was communication issues and drifting feelings between the two, which made it hard for the couple to remain as close as before. Most times, those who knew the ins and outs of the business viewed the separation as coming about gradually rather than suddenly.
Ankita’s Reflections on the Separation
After several years of separation, Ankita Lokhande talked about her troubled period when she appeared in Bigg Boss 17 and gave various interviews. In her opinion, the split occurred quite unexpectedly and hurt a lot. She admitted that every relationship faces disputes but said that at last, Sushant decided to pursue another path due to his increasing career.
She said that all through her life, she wanted to be only supportive to him and did not want to be in the way. Thus, she accepted his decision although it was very hard for her. The public received a chance to understand the depth of sorrow from which Ankita tried to overcome her relationship.
After Sushant’s death, there were several stories in the media about interviews with people who allegedly knew him well. There were some instances where he supposedly used to think about how he was with Ankita and was grateful for her being there for him as a pillar of strength at such an important time in his life. But this information too is unverified because Sushant never spoke about it himself.
A Relationship That Fans Still Remember
However, even after splitting up, the couple of Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande remains one of the most popular couples from Indian TV. The way they started their journey, from meeting on a TV show to turning into one of the most beloved celebrity couples, still holds great significance.
It seems like the split-up of this duo happened due to the change in their aspirations and priorities, along with all the typical challenges faced by people working in the world of entertainment.
In today’s times, even many years since his death, the fans do not just recall the great talent of Sushant but also the connections that contributed to who he was as a person.
