Earlier in an interview with the DNA, Ankita opened up about her break-up with Sushant and why she took so long to make a comeback on the screen. She was quoted as saying, “Back then, I was trying to be a homemaker and doing a very big job. When I was working, I was satisfied; when I wasn’t, I was still happy. I’m okay with whatever I do. Aisa kabhi nahin tha ki mujhe yeh chahiye ya woh chahiye. I decided to take a break because I was happy with that then. It was not just for myself. I guess, the Universe wanted me to get back professionally, which is why I’m here now. I won’t say the break-up affected my profession, though. Love and work are two separate things. You need to balance them and I’ll say I wasn’t able to do that”.
She also added how break-up from Sushant and work life helped her to love herself. She said, "Of course, there is! (referring to the scope of new relationships in her life). I’m still waiting for my prince charming (laughs). But I’m not consciously looking for a man. I’m done with that! I don’t need a man to reach somewhere in life. I’d rather have awards”
Earlier this year, Sushant gave an interview to an ace film critic and senior journalist, Anupama Chopra, he talked about the real reason behind the break-up and how he came out of it. The actor stated, "It is very important to give time to a relationship. It can sustain if there are no expectations. When you are in love you care about your partner and wish for good memories with him or her. Therefore time is like an investment in any relationship. We run after a psychological security which will never last long. Most of the actors only want to speak about themselves and have become self-obsessed. They want to be heard only. Today, people no longer have listening power." (Don't Miss: Everything That Happened Inside Kapil Sharma And Ginni Chatrath's Big Fat Punjabi Wedding)
He further added, "If you are discussed, scrutinised and judged in public not as an actor but for your personal life, you can’t complain. However, you sometimes feel helpless and terrible. Especially if you are an introvert."
Well, looks like Sushant and Ankita are all set to open a new chapter in their life. What do you guys think?
