Mumbai is turning out to be an epicenter of controversies as the state going through a really tough phase. While Sushant Singh Rajput's case stained the image of the current Maharashtra government, the tussle with Kangana of Shiv Sena is working as a nail in the coffin. 

Now another war of words has erupted between Sushant's former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande and Bollywood actress Shibani Dandekar. Shibani on Thursday slammed Ankita after the actress raised questions on the B-town celebs who came in support of Rhea Chakraborty after her arrest and called Sushant druggist. 

As a response, Shibani attacked Ankita and said, "Such a grotesque letter by (Ankita). This princess of patriarchy who has never dealt with her own relationship issues with Sushant, clearly she wants her two seconds of fame and has capitalized on Rhea being targeted.

"She has played a major role in this 'witch-hunt' and she needs to be called out! She also just needs to shut the hell up. Enough Ankita! No one has more hate in their heart than you."

Now, Ankita Lokhande has replied to Shibani Dandekar and slammed her for judging her just because she is a television actress. Ankita wrote, "2 seconds of fame"

This phrase got me thinking today. Coming from a tier 2 city and belonging to a humble background, I had no fancy education to show for myself. I entered the television industry in the year 2004 with a show called Zee Cine Star Ke Khoj. But my real journey began in 2009 with the show "PAVITRA RISHTA" which went on till 2014. I would be doing an injustice if I don't mention that it was among one of the best shows for 6 consecutive years with the highest GEC TRP on television till date.

Fame is only a byproduct of the love and warmth that an actor receives from the masses. Along with all the viewers, I, too still feel connected to the character of "ARCHANA". Both, my fate and the people have been kind enough to me shower their blessings and love upon me. The aspiration of an actor trying to portray as many different roles and characters as possible, led me to explore. Luckily, I got the opportunity to work in Manikarnika as well as Baghi 3.

To conclude, I have been an ACTOR in Television & Bollywood for the past 17 years & now, when I am trying to support justice for my late friend, a view has been expressed that I am seeking JUSTICE because I need 2 seconds of fame and cheap publicity! I cannot fathom as to why any person would take such a stand.

Is it because I have worked mostly on television and not in Bollywood?

Is that why you would take a stand for the person with whom you have had a relationship for almost a decade?

Stop looking down on we television actors, if that was your reason for describing my words as 'GROTESQUE'.

It takes an equal amount of hard work and dedication for the actors in the television industry as it would take in Bollywood.

I am proud to be a television actor.

And if not for anything, I shall always raise my voice for the people I love and care about."
