We all loved the chemistry of Late actor Sushant and Ankita in ‘Pavitra Rishta’ but things were opposite at the beginning. Ankita was not fascinated about him during the initial days but with time the two fell harder for each other. The couple broke in 2016. We still love the two as a couple unfortunately Sushant is not with us now.
