Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged break-up with longtime sweetheart Ankita Lokhande has kept the gossip mills buzzing over the last week although the actress recently expressed shock over the speculations, calling them "unnecessary and uncalled for". Her reaction may be perceived as being in denial and reluctance to move on following the end of a six-year committed relationship rife with ups and downs. However, if friends of the couple are to be believed, Ankita is indeed clueless about their current relationship status.
"Sushant has still not told Ankita if he wants to be in the relationship or maintain a single status for some time since everyone wants to talk only about his love life. This could also be a PR exercise so that people talk only about his work and upcoming film, biopic on cricketer MS Dhoni. Publicity gimmick or otherwise, he is yet to clarify his stand to Ankita," says a friend.
The actor is now on a two-month shooting schedule for Dinesh Vijan's 'Raabta' in Bucharest. Disturbed over the split buzz, Ankita is said to have reached out to Sushant, but apparently wasn't able to get anything out of him. In fact, when the rumours first surfaced, she tried to play them down by tweeting, "Don't feel alone I m always there in ur heart, in ur life @itsSSR (sic)" with a red heart attached to it.
Reports also suggested that Sushant has walked out of their love nest in Malad, but his car is still parked outside their house. "His intentions are unclear but Ankita wants their relationship to culminate in marriage sooner rather than later. But with such confusion around their love life, she is feeling hurt and lonely," adds the friend.
