Remember how Sushant Singh Rajput reviewed his ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande's look as Jhalkari Bai from her forthcoming film Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi last week? Sushant, who interacted with the media on the sidelines of the Star Screen Awards on Sunday, spoke about his comment on Ankita's post and told news agency IANS: "I saw the picture and I really liked it. I wanted to congratulate her on that so, I did it." When Sushant was asked if he personally congratulated Ankita on her Bollywood debut, the actor said, "I am the same person on digital platform and in my real life. So, whatever comment I made on that post was not to show off to people. I really wanted to congratulate her." The Raabta actor added, "She (Ankita Lokhande) also replied to my comment. I feel there wasn't need for any separate conversation."

Meanwhile, when Ankita Lokhande was asked about Sushant's statement on the sidelines of the Star Screen Awards, she said, "No comments." However, Ankita had earlier acknowledged Sushant's comment on the post and had replied: "Thank you, Sushant. I wish you the same."

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande occupied a spot on the trends list after casting director Mukesh Chhabra shared a picture of Ankita Lokhande's look as Jhalkari Bai from Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi and Sushant commented on the post. He wrote: "It looks absolutely great Ankita. I am extremely happy to see this. May God bless you with lots of success and happiness."
