The actor asserted that her ex-boyfriend was not someone who could be depressed. The 'Manikarnika' star also stated that he could not commit suicide as he was like a child who enjoyed the smallest joys of life, and expressed confidence about knowing the 'truth' and all those fighting for justice will win.

Lokhande also confessed that it took time for her to accept the 'depression' narrative around Sushant Singh Rajput's death, said, "He was not a man who could take such a step." and alleged that it was unbelievable for her to accept that the actor took away his own life.
