Ankita Lokhande marked an impressive Bollywood debut in 2019 as Jhalkaribai in Manikarnika. A year later, she is back with her second big-screen outing, Baaghi 3.
Baaghi, an action franchise synonymous with Tiger Shroff has been a HIT at the box-office. So for Ankita, it’s definitely a high to associate herself with the third instalment. We caught up with her yesterday at her Malad flat. We began by asking her what led director Ahmed Khan to sign her for the project and she replied, “I can't say why he chose me, but I will tell you why I chose this film. I think it’s an out-and-out commercial movie. I always wanted to do a film which has dance, action, romance. This is the reason why I took up this project.” SEE VIDEO BELOW:
Her Baaghi 3 co-stars Shraddha Kapoor and Tiger Shroff were there in the first part, then in the second we saw Disha Patani- and now, it’s Shraddha again. We asked if she knew the duo from before and she told us about how she and Shraddha had even partied in the past. Ankita looked very happy as she answered furthermore.
We drifted the chat to her debut film Manikarnika and asked her what she felt about its box-office. “Manikarnika was my first film so I don't want to get into its box-office. However, I feel good that I earned love and acceptance from the audience for my performance.” ALSO READ : Ankita Lokhande's SpotboyE Interview DISTORTED: Where Is Entertainment Journalism On The Web Headed?
Ankita pointed out that she had no complaints about the size of her role in the film (unlike a few actors who had complained against Kangana for chopping off their parts). We naturally wanted to know if she has kept touch with Ms Ranaut. Pat came the reply, “Yes, I have. Kangana is very supportive. She is my first director. I had soon informed her after I signed Baaghi 3."
Ankita has been demonstrative about her love life by putting posts of Vicky Jain and her. Ankita gushed, “Yes, Vicky Jain is my boyfriend and we are in love.” There were strong rumours of the couple planning to settle down some time in January. Ankita denied that bit, though.
Furthermore, we spoke to Ankita about her new house and her take on web shows. The actress underlined that her main focus lies in films and TV shows and web series can take a backseat for now.
Well Ankita, we are waiting to see you as Riteish Deshmukh's wife in Baaghi 3. May you do well!
