Bharat Times, September 2020 27 www.bharattimes.com Is Sara SSR’s ‘ex’? Did SSR date Sara Ali Khan? We all know Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR) was in a relationship with his co-star of Pavitra Rishta – Ankita Lokhande for six years. They moved in together, bought a property togeth- er and ED is looking into the instalments SSR was making towards certain properties. Such was the seriousness of that relationship. Then came – SSR’s Raabta – a movie which he did with Kriti Sanon. It is widely reported in the media that during the shooting of the film – the two got closer and SSR’s relation- ship with Ankita became a casualty. Ankita told a TV channel in one of the interviews that SSR after returning from the shoot of Raabta changed his phone number and she had not had his number or contact ever since. It was also suggested by some media reports Took drugs that SSR was in fact ‘brainwashed’ by some PR personnel in Bollywood to change girl- friend (from TV girlfriend Ankita Lokhande) to someone else in the movies – to upgrade – for better future in Bollywood to get more and bigger breaks for movies.

Samuel posted on Instagram that Kedarnath brought Sara Ali Khan and SSR together and they were in a relationship – pure and simple.
