Ankita Lokhande got married to her boyfriend Vicky Jain last year on December 14, after dating for a couple of years. The couple tied the knot in a traditional Indian wedding in the presence of their loved ones. Soon after their marriage, the couple marked their on-screen appearance in Star Plus’ new reality show Smart Jodi. The couple opened up on how they met and how they ended updating each other.
Ankita and Vicky recalled in the show that they met each other back in 2013. The Pavitra Rishta actress also heaped praises on her hubby by saying that not everyone “has the capability to stand with his woman through such a difficult time. He was there through out.” Remembering how they ended up being together, Ankita said, “One day, I don’t remember why, I called him up. I somehow just needed him. That was the beginning. We dated each other for three years. In this time, we have understood each other very well. It has been a good phase irrespective of all ups and downs.”
In a video played during the show, though Vicky did not mention Sushant Singh Rajput’s name but he hinted towards his death and revealed that it was a “tough test” for their relationship. Vicky Jain said, “Aisa turn aaya (a turn came) that left, not only us, but the whole world in shock. Whatever happened was shocking and sudden. No one is ever prepared to handle such a situation.”
The actress then further revealed how Vicky was there for her when she needed support and said, “The time was such. People had different narratives. I was constantly being questioned. When I wouldn’t answer, they would make answer of their own because of which Vicky and I faced a lot.”
Ankita Lokhande was earlier in a relationship with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. They started dating each other while they were shooting for Ekta Kapoor’s Pavitra Rishta. However, things took a different turn and they ended their relationship after almost 6 years.
