Rhea denies drugs involvement; brings back Sushant’s “depression” theory

In an explosive exclusive interview with Aaj Tak, Rhea Chakraborty has opened up for the first time since being linked to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death investigation.

The actress, who will soon be interrogated by the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI), has revealed details about Rajput’s mental health and the medication he consumed. In the interaction with Rajdeep Sardesai, she said, “He was depressed. He was seeking treatment too. He told me, he had met a psychiatrist in 2013. He had been admitted to Hinduja for treatment too at one point, he was under Dr Percy Chawda. Sushant ke depression ka ek bada reason hai ki he wasn’t able to live without his mother. She also struggled with mental illness. But I did not give him any drug. Doctors gave a prescription, based on which we got the medicines. Everyone knows you cannot buy these without a valid prescription.

“When someone shares your fears with you, your relationship becomes real. There’s no facade left. We worked at it together. In December 2019, he was getting better under Dr Chawda’s treatment. I have all the messages, ED and Mumbai Police has records of my phone, and I will cooperate with CBI too, obviously. But people outside are speculating. So much so that my mother is on the verge of getting admitted to a hospital.”

She added, “Yes. I was very happy when he was leaving with them for Chandigarh. His sister told me that she knew how to handle things because her mother also suffered something similar, and I was happy he is in good hands. I have her the prescription and the medicines and hoped that things would get better.”
