Kangana Ranaut said that Sushant Singh?Rajput�s ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande told her about the �humiliation� he was subjected to.

After Sushant Singh Rajput�s death by suicide last month, Kangana Ranaut has been up in arms against the �movie mafia�. In a new interview, she claims that his ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande told her that he was subjected to �so much humiliation� in Bollywood, including negative press and professional isolation.

In an interview , Kangana said that she called her �dear friend� and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi co-star Ankita after Sushant�s death to get a better understanding of what he was like. �When I spoke to Ankita, she said right from the beginning, there was so much humiliation that he could not take it. This is how she summed it up,� Kangana said.

Sushant made it in Bollywood from the television world, after �auditions after auditions, rejections after rejections�, Ankita told Kangana. He remained �so grounded� even after becoming one of the most sought-after stars in a short span of time. However, he was very sensitive to how he was perceived by others.

Kangana added, �But one thing that she (Ankita) also said about him was that he was not thick-skinned. He would sit on Twitter when he was new and would fight with fans, asking �why did you think that about me? Why did you say that about me? I am not this person that you are saying.� Ankita told me that she used to tell him ki abhi ye toh hoga na. Everybody will have their perception of you, why are you so bothered about it? He just could not take that, he could not take what people thought about him. She said, over a period, the bad PR, the ganging up, the public humiliation, he just could not take it. He has had enough � that�s what she said.�
