The social media storm has been ignited by the ongoing spat between actress Rozlyn Khan and Ankita Lokhande. The controversy began when Ankita Lokhande criticized Rozlyn Khan’s remark on Hina Khan’s cancer journey as “cheap.” In response, Rozlyn Khan hit back at Ankita with a sharp retort, bringing up the late Sushant Singh Rajput and accusing Ankita of using his death for attention during her stint on Bigg Boss.
Genesis of the Controversy
Rozlyn Khan, a Stage Four cancer survivor, recently reacted to Hina Khan’s public confession of her Stage Three breast cancer fight. Many were in support of Hina for her courage, but Rozlyn’s comment did not seem to go down well with Ankita Lokhande, who called it “cheap.” Rozlyn clapped back at Ankita, asking her about her past actions.
Rozlyn took to her Instagram stories to respond, saying, “A woman who could use the death of her ex for Bigg Boss is preaching to me about cheapness!! Not a big surprise… aa gayi sasti (cheap) publicity lene.” This direct attack on Ankita reignited discussions about her involvement in Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic demise and the way it was perceived in the media.
Ankita Lokhande’s Take
Ankita Lokhande had been in a long-term relationship with Sushant Singh Rajput before the break-up. Ankita went public with her anguish and condolence messages after the untimely death of Sushant in 2020. Criticism came for Ankita on Bigg Boss as people criticized her for sympathy and votes due to the tragic situation. Now, Rozlyn’s comment will surely add more fuel to fire the already burning topic.
Ankita, while reacting to the jibe of Rozlyn said, “Some people will do anything to stay in the news. My intentions have always been pure, and I don’t need to justify them to anyone.” She also told her fans to give up on negativism.
The Internet’s Response
The online community remains divided. Some netizens sided with Rozlyn, questioning Ankita’s past actions and supporting Rozlyn’s right to express her opinion. Others criticized Rozlyn for bringing up Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in what they deemed an unnecessary and insensitive manner.
