Mumbai, March 4: Television superstar Ankita Lokhande extended warm wishes to her fans on the occasion of Holi, and shared a colorful collection of pictures celebrating the festival with her loved ones.
The actress added the hit song "Gulaabi" featuring her ex-boyfriend and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput as the background music for her post.
The actress wrote on her social media account: "Today was all about colors, love, and the people who make my life brighter. This is us – celebrating Holi, celebrating friendship, celebrating togetherness."
The photos show Ankita enjoying the festival with her family and friends, with her husband Vicky Jain by her side.
In one picture, Ankita is seen sitting inside a car wearing sunglasses and with gulal (colored powder) smeared on her cheeks and forehead. She is seen smiling as she shows her color-filled hand to fans while taking a selfie.
Another image features the couple posing together with bright Holi colors on their faces.
A group picture shared by Ankita shows her posing with her family and loved ones.
One of the pictures also captures Ankita lovingly holding her nephew in her arms.
The actress chose the hit song "Gulaabi" from the movie "Shudh Desi Romance" starring late actor Sushant Singh Rajput as the background music for her post.
Talking about Ankita and Sushant, the couple were once considered one of television's most beloved on-screen couples.
They had won hearts with their portrayal of Archana and Manav in the hit show "Pavitra Rishta." Their on-screen chemistry soon blossomed into a real-life relationship, and the duo dated for several years.
The couple were reportedly set to get married in December 2017, but in September of the same year, they announced their breakup, leaving fans in shock.
Ankita has often spoken about how the separation left her emotionally disturbed and how she withdrew into herself for a long time.
Meanwhile, Sushant went on to have a successful career in Bollywood.
Ankita later found love again in Vicky Jain, her now husband, who was reportedly a common friend of the former couple.
For those unfamiliar, Sushant tragically died by suicide on June 14, 2020. His final film, "Dil Bechara," was released posthumously and received immense love from audiences.
