Rhea Chakraborty speaks to NDTV on actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case
New Delhi:
Actor Rhea Chakraborty, who is at the centre of investigations in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, today spoke to NDTV about the case. Rising Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14. The actor’s father KK Singh has filed a case against Ms Chakraborty accusing her of mentally harassing him, taking his money and driving him to suicide. A First Information Report (FIR) in Patna named Rhea Chakraborty, her parents, brother Showik, Sushant’s former manager Shruti Modi and Samuel Miranda, along with others. The CBI began its probe based on Sushant Singh Rajput’s family’s allegations after a Supreme Court order last week.
Here are the highlights of Rhea Chakraborty’s exclusive interview:
- It is extremely hurtful for someone going through a loss this big. I loved his son, looked after him. At least have humanity. If not for me, for him.
- It is really difficult. Me and my entire family going through scrutiny. There’s a mob outside my gate. My dad, the watchmen, people in the building. What are you doing to my family? Why can’t you wait for results to come? We have faith in the system. That is why we are alive, else would have committed suicide. My father served in the army for 25 years and this is what is happening to him.
- Don’t think I will be arrested. I have not done anything to be arrested. My mother may need hospitalisation, she is having a mental breakdown. My dad is being harassed. What was being said irked me, hurt me. They are destroying his (Sushant Singh Rajput’s) memory. At least fact check. What is happening to journalism?
- I am broken and am trying to find strength. The reason we are alive is because I am telling the truth. It is unfair and unjust. The whole nation believes things they believe based on absurd news.
- I have never spoken to a dealer or taken drugs in my life. I am open to a blood test. Anything I say will be misconstrued.
- Pandora’s box been opened by his family. I wanted his memory to be pristine.
- Sushant smoked Marijuana and I tried my best to control him.
- My family’s mental health is being destroyed.
