Ankita Lokhande shared a heartwarming video of Sushant Singh Rajput and their dog Scotch in a bid to celebrate and remember him on his birth anniversary.
On Sushant Singh Rajput’s birth anniversary, several actors have taken to their social media handles to upload their fond memories with the late actor and remember him. On January 21, Ankita Lokhande also took to Twitter to share a video of SSR in a bid to celebrate him. SSR had passed away on June 14, 2020, and the Mumbai Police had termed the death as a suicide. However, his family and fans have been asking for justice since his death and they continue to share stills of his movies remembering him.
While taking to Twitter, Ankita shared a heartwarming video of the late actor and their dog Scotch. In the clip, SSR can be seen playing around with his pooch as they run around the house. Sushant also can be seen challenging his dog to get hold of his toy. In the caption, Ankita wrote how she always wants to remember SSR for the “intelligent, romantic and mad” person he was in his happiest phase.
Ankita was a part of SSR’s journey as his co-star on the show ‘Pavitra Rishta’. She also witnessed his transition from the small screen to the big screen on a personal level, as they were in a relationship at that time. Though Sushant and Ankita broke up five years after his entry into films, the latter came out in support of the late star, and backed the movement for justice for him, backing the demand for a Central Bureau of Investigation probe.
‘He was a pure soul’
Meanwhile, on seeing Ankita’s post, fans have gone all out to comment on all things sweet. The past has been viewed over 13,000 times and it has received thousands of likes and comments. Some of the users went on to remember the actor and his personality, while some went on to send birthday wishes.
Sushant Singh Rajput began his career from the TV show ‘Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil'. He then became a part of Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Pavitra Rishta’. SSR made his film debut with Kai Po Che and went on to deliver several commercial hits like ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, ‘Chhichhore’, ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ and more.
He was last seen in the coming-of-age romantic flick Dil Bechara. Helmed by Mukesh Chhabra, the movie was an adaptation of John Green’s novel The Fault in Our Stars. The film features him essaying the role of a terminal cancer patient, who falls in love and goes to the extreme to make his lover’s dream come true.
