Recently, in an interview with Republic TV, Ankita, the ex-girlfriend of Sushant said that he could not have been 'depressed'. She further said, `Sushant was not the guy who could commit suicide. We have seen worse situations when we were together. He was a happy-go-lucky guy,`.
Ankita met him on the sets of Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta, a daily soap produced by Ekta Kapoor, and were both together for 6 years until 2016. Recently Ankita has also shared a poster on social media that said, "Truth Wins".
She further said, `How much ever I know him, he wasn't a depressed guy. I have not seen a person like Sushant, a guy who used to write his own dreams, he had a diary... He had his 5-year plan - what he wants to do, how he will look, etc. And exactly after 5 years, he had fulfilled them. And when things like 'depression' are used after his name... it is heartbreaking. He might be upset, anxious, yes, but depression is a big word. Calling someone 'bipolar' is a big thing.`
SSR's father KK Singh filed an FIR against Sushant's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty under several allegations and sections of the Indian Penal Code. Responding to which, Rhea has now filed a petition in Supreme Court requesting the transfer of SSR's death case to Mumbai police.
