Ankita Lokhande has reacted to Shibani Dandekar’s recent taunts against her. Shibani, while defending her friend Rhea Chakraborty, accused of being an accessory to the suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, had said in a social media post that Ankita was seeking her “two seconds of fame” by targeting Rhea.
In a Twitter post on Thursday, Ankita wondered if she was being criticized because she had worked primarily in television and not in Bollywood. She wrote in her post, “‘2 seconds of fame.’ This phrase made me think today. Coming from a level 2 city and belonging to a humble background, I did not have a fancy upbringing to show myself. I entered the television industry in 2004 with a program called Zee Cine Star Ke Khoj. But my real journey started in 2009 with the “PAVITRA RISHTA” program that lasted until 2014. It would be an injustice if I do not mention that it was among one of the best programs for 6 years in a row with the highest GEC TRP. on television to date. “
She added: “I have been an ACTOR on TV and Bollywood for the last 17 years and now when I am trying to support justice for my late friend, the opinion has been expressed that I am seeking JUSTICE because I need 2 seconds of fame. and cheap advertising! I cannot understand why a person would take such a position. Is it because I have worked mainly in television and not in Bollywood? Is that why you would take sides with the person you’ve been in a relationship with for almost a decade? Stop looking down on TV actors, if that was your reason for describing my words as ‘GROTESQUE’. It takes the same amount of hard work and dedication on the part of actors in the television industry as it does in Bollywood. I am proud to be a television actor. And if not for nothing, I will always raise my voice for the people I love and care for. “
This is what Shibani had posted against Ankita:
Ankita dated Sushant for about six years before leaving in 2016. The two met on the sets of their popular show Pavitra Rishta. Sushant, 34, was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14. His death has sparked a series of controversies in the media.
