Queen actress Kangana Ranaut has become unstoppable when it comes to Sushant Singh Rajput. She is pointing towards, “movie mafia” and “nepotism” in the industry. In a recent interview, she expressed that the late actor’s ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande told her that Sushant was subjected to “so much humiliation” in Bollywood. It included a negative portrayal of him in the media as well as professional isolation.
In an interview with Times of India, Kangana opened up about talking to her Manikarnika co-star Ankita Lokhande to get better insight about Sushant’s life. “When I spoke to Ankita, she said right from the beginning, there was so much humiliation that he could not take it. This is how she summed it up,” Kangana said.
Ankita told Kangana that Sushant made it to Bollywood after a lot of auditions and faced rejections as well. He remained grounded, given he became one of the most sought-after stars in a short period. However, Sushant was very sensitive about what people thought about him.
Kangana added, “But one thing that she (Ankita) also said about him was that he was not thick-skinned. He would sit on Twitter when he was new and would fight with fans, asking ‘why did you think that about me? Why did you say that about me? I am not this person that you are saying.’ Ankita told me that she used to tell him ki abhi ye toh hoga na. Everybody will have their perception of you, why are you so bothered about it? He just could not take that, he could not take what people thought about him. She said, over a period, the bad PR, the ganging up, the public humiliation, he just could not take it. He has had enough – that’s what she said.”
Ankita also said, ‘Kangana, Sushant was exactly like you… he was very intellectual, he would not gossip about anyone, and was very invested in what he did. He had that small-town personality.’ But she said that ‘the only difference was that he wanted to be accepted. You somehow have gotten over that urge.’”
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap also pointed out how Sushant wanted to work with big banners like Dharma Productions and YRF.
