Sushant confirms split from Ankita Lokhande

The latest Bollywood updates.

Sushant Singh Rajput has confirmed that he has parted ways from his longtime girlfriend Ankita Lokhande.

The Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! star, 30, who was dating Ankita since their stint on daily soap Pavitra Rishta, called the break-up 'unfortunate'.

'Neither she was an alcoholic nor I am a womaniser. People do grow apart and it's unfortunate. Period,' he posted on Twitter.

What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it,' he added.

After dating for close to six years, Sushant and Ankita were apparently planning to tie the knot in December 2016.

But rumours of trouble in their relationship started to surface, especially when Ankita tweeted some pictures recently.
