Ending months of wait, casting director Mukesh Chhabra unveiled television actor Ankita Lokhande's first look as Jhalkar Bai from 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi' on Thursday. While his post got her fans euphoric, a few started tagging her ex lover and Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, asking for his reaction on the poster.
There were some who also went on to challenge Sushant's position in the industry. "So finally she is here. Now the war begin. Let see wht now," one wrote.
Here's what Mukesh Chhabra posted:
Just a few hours later, Sushant, who is not otherwise very active on Instagram, left a comment praising her look. “It looks absolutely great Ankita. I am extremely happy to see this. May God bless you with lots of success and happiness,” he wrote. Ankita also took no time to reply back. She wrote, "Thank you Sushant. I wish you the same."
Their sweet exchange of wishes not just made people appreciate their maturity, but also made them hope for their reunion. Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput dated for six years before they called in it quits in 2016. "Neither she was an alcoholic nor I am a womaniser. People do Grow apart & its unfortunate. Period!!" Sushant had clarified in a tweet. The two haven't crossed paths since then. This is after two years when they have had a public conversation.
