In the 'Bigg Boss 17 House,' contestants keep changing but one thing remains constant: contestant Ankita Lokhande talking about her ex-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput. Now, in a recent episode, when talking to Ayesha Khan, the actress claimed that the late actor was "claustrophobic," which left his fans disappointed.

Back in 2020, his then-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty had claimed that the 'Kedarnath' actor was claustrophobic, but Ankita Lokhande lashed out at her, posting a video of the actor flying a plane, and denying her claims. But it seems like now, she's contradicting herself. 

Reacting to this statement, many netizens called the 'Pavitra Rishta' actress a "hypocrite." One user questioned, “Why does she keep talking about SSR in the first place and discussing what he was or wasn’t how is it related to her stint in the show unless she wants to keep using him to gain advantage/sympathy." Another user argued that by saying such things, “Ankita is just degrading her value.”

Ankita and Sushant made their acting debut together and met on the sets of 'Pavitra Rishta' and dated for seven years. The actor was found dead in his apartment in 2020.
