Thoda tantrum, thodi picnic
Spotted with her face covered from the sun with a scarf was Ankita Lokhande, her temper boiling over like the heat. "I had asked for a solo vanity (van). I give you five minutes to arrange for one. It's my fifth Rishtey Award. I can expect at least this much," she fumed.
Asked if she was missing beau Sushant Singh Rajput, with whom she had danced at ZRA 2010, she mellowed: "It's been two years that he's not around on the sets (of Pavitra Rishta). I have got used to that. I don't miss him," she said, adding "not much" after a pause. "Are you sure you want that to go in print?" a voice warned her from a distance. "My baby knows me," Ankita smiled, as a coordinator ran in with news of her vanity van.
The voice was that of Hiten Tejwani, who had replaced Sushant in the serial. "I don't have much to do tonight. I am here for a picnic," he smiled.
