On June 14, 2020, Indian cinema lost one of its brightest stars, Sushant Singh Rajput. On his third death anniversary, his 'Pavitra Rishta' co-star and ex-girlfriend, Ankita Lokhande, paid a heartfelt tribute to him.

Ankita Lokhande took to her Instagram story to share a poignant photo of Sushant standing with his beloved pet dog, Scotch. The dog, a gift from Sushant to Ankita, had been a cherished part of her life until its passing in February this year. The photo not only reminded fans of Sushant's love for animals but also of the bond he shared with Ankita.

Sushant Singh Rajput began his journey in the entertainment industry with the television show 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil'. However, it was his role as Manav in 'Pavitra Rishta' that made him a household name. Paired opposite Ankita Lokhande, who played Archana, their on-screen chemistry quickly won the hearts of viewers, and their off-screen romance soon followed. Sushant even proposed to Ankita during a dance reality show, but despite their strong connection, the couple eventually parted ways. Ankita has since moved on and is now married to Vicky Jain.

Beyond television, Sushant made a significant impact in Bollywood with his versatile performances. His last movies included 'Dil Bechara', released posthumously in 2020, which was an adaptation of John Green’s novel 'The Fault in Our Stars'. His portrayal of Manny, a character battling cancer, left a lasting impression on audiences. Other notable films include 'Chhichhore', a heartwarming tale about friendship and resilience, and 'Sonchiriya', where he played a rugged bandit leader.

Sushant's career was marked by his dedication and passion for acting. He was known for his methodical approach to roles, often immersing himself completely into his characters. His work continues to inspire aspiring actors and filmmakers. Sushant's journey from television to Bollywood serves as a testament to his talent and determination, reminding everyone that with hard work and perseverance, dreams can indeed come true.

As fans and colleagues remember Sushant Singh Rajput on this day, his legacy as an actor and an inspiration lives on. His contributions to cinema and the impact he had on those who knew him will never be forgotten.
