Before venturing into Bollywood, Sushant Singh Rajput had shot to fame as a television actor with Ekta Kapoor's daily soap "Pavitra Rishta" which also starred Ankita Lokhande. Even though, Sushant left the daily soap midway, his friendship with Ankita transpired into something deeper. The two dated for almost six years before parting ways.
