Sushant Singh Rajput's role in his upcoming film Shuddh Desi Romance bears a striking similarity to his real life. Just like how he is portrayed in the rom-com, Sushant too is a small-town lad and has been in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend.
According to sources, director Maneesh Sharma had an easy time explaining his role to the actor while for Sushant too, stepping into his character's shoes was a cakewalk.
Our source says, "Sushant hails from Patna while his live-in sweetheart Ankita Lokhande hails from Indore. He has been quite open about his relationship just like in the film. They have stood by each other through thick and thin.
In the film, he and his on screen girlfriend Parineeti Chopra are shown to be in a similar situation.
In real life as well, he knows the pros and cons about living together. He didn't have to prepare much before shooting commenced." The official spokesperson of the film remained unavailable for comment.
