Sushant Singh Rajput's death has left a void in the film industry, especially in the hearts of his family, friends, and fans. Many people who were from the industry have come forward to share their experiences of working or being friends with Sushant. 

His friend and producer, Sandip Singh was at the forefront after this tragedy took place. In a recent interview, Sandip spoke about Sushant, how he befriended him in 2011, and his relationship with then-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande.

BollywoodLife quoted a report as saying, "Ankita was not his girlfriend. She has taken the place of his mother in his life. In twenty years of my journey in the industry, I have never seen a girl like her. She has taken care of him like nobody else. She could have been the only one who could have saved him."

Sandip also spoke about Ankita's reaction after he got to know the news of Sushant's untimely death. "The day Sushant took this unfortunate step and when I saw him, my big worry was for Ankita. Throughout my journey from his house to the ambulance to the hospital that day, I was constantly calling up Ankita but she didn't take my call. And I knew what she was going through. And after finishing my postmortem work, I ran to her house. I have known her for 10 years and I don't think she had ever given me that hug which I got that day."

When asked about Sushant's rumoured girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and his plans to marry her, Sandip said, "Main to aisi kisi shaadi mein invited nahi tha, so, I really don't know. What I know is at one point of time, Ankita and Sushant were supposed to get married. Mere liye vo hi uska aakhri relationship tha and main usi memory ke saath rehna chahta hoon (I was not invited to any wedding. For me, Sushant and Ankita's relationship was the only one that mattered and I will always remember that)."
