Rhea, you heard my introduction, you might be accused primary in India’s most sensational case in the intervening time. It’s like we have now nothing else to fret about. What precisely is your response? Rhea that was Sushant Singh Rajput’s father saying right now that you simply poisoned his son, you murdered his son. How would you reply to that? Your response to that?
Rhea Chakraborty: I imply this can be very hurtful that somebody who’s going by a loss this massive as I’m doesn’t perceive what this might be doing to me. I beloved his son, and it is simply past me to
perceive that’s there no humanity? I taken care of his son. At least have the humanity for those who don’t love me as his girlfriend, no less than have the humanity that now that he is handed, respect his love for me. If not mine for him.
NDTV: You know Rhea, in a way you possibly can put down Sushant’s household and their characters to their grief, however what’s truly now turn into the large challenge is the truth that right now a senior BJP chief stated that the anti-terror company, the NIA, ought to examine your position on this case. As I’ve stated we already have the CBI, the ED, the Narcotics Bureau investigating your position on this case. It’s nearly, I imply there have been related circumstances when there have been fugitives, as Swara Baskar stated right now, Kasab would not have been handled like this. What would you say right now, you are 28, and also you’re being investigated by three central companies, what’s your response to that?
Rhea Chakraborty: It’s actually tough, me and my whole household are going by scrutiny each day. Today there was a mob at my doorstep. My father was harassed, he was touched, he was hit. My watchman was crushed up in my constructing, contained in the premises. They usually are not simply harassing me however the individuals residing within the society. Tomorrow, they may ask us to depart. What are you doing to this household? I want to ask all people this query, what are you doing to this household? We are being grilled, we’re a part of each investigation, we’re doing all our duties. We are simply law-abiding residents. But why cannot you look forward to the outcome to come back? And if you do not have religion within the authorized system you need to go away India. Because I do. And my household does. And that is why we’re nonetheless alive or we might have dedicated suicide too. With the form of allegations and accusations, treating me worse than a terrorist. My father served the nation for 25 years as a military officer. And you might be treating this household like we’re terrorists. When all we did was love a boy.
NDTV: Rhea, already you’ve seen the reactions to your interviews which have come, that you’re this, that your interviews are PR interviews, they’re smooth interviews. The truth is that this interview goes dwell proper now, we’re not enhancing something. But the allegation being that you’re utilizing this for public sympathy. Why have you ever determined to talk up right now? Do you assume you will be arrested tomorrow?
Rhea Chakraborty: No, I do not assume I’m going to be arrested tomorrow, as a result of I’ve not accomplished something worthy of being arrested. But I really feel the necessity to communicate as a result of my mom is now the verge of a psychological breakdown fully. She might need to be moved to the hospital. My household is breaking, my father is being pushed round and nearly bodily and mentally lynched at. I’ve to do that for them. What about my household? What about what we’re going by? And I did not communicate for thus many days out of respect for Sushant. And what was being stated was so absurd that it irked me. It harm me that they’re destroying his reminiscence. They are destroying him, have respect for the one that has gone no less than. At least truth test. What is up with journalists on this nation, he’s useless.
NDTV: You stated simply now Rhea, that your loved ones and also you typically think about, or assume that you simply would possibly simply commit suicide. That’s a really sturdy factor to say, that is one thing that should not be stated frivolously. Why are you saying one thing like that? Is it one thing to achieve sympathy? What are you going by proper now?
Rhea Chakraborty: I’m simply damaged, and I’m looking for energy each day. For me and my household. The solely purpose we’re nonetheless alive is as a result of I’m talking the reality. The form of psychological, bodily, emotional pressures on us are insufferable. Any different particular person going by such a state of affairs or every other household would possibly think about the identical. It’s unfair, its unjust. It’s with out proof. And the entire nation appears to have determined what they’ve determined. Based on what? Based on a couple of allegations? Based on a couple of experiences saying that, saying absurd issues.
NDTV: Well you realize Rhea, I believe the primary level is that what’s gotten misplaced in that is the tragic loss of life of a younger man, but in addition, why the nation is saying that is due to the truth that the Bihar authorities received concerned on this, the Bihar authorities, and the Supreme Court, which agreed for a CBI probe. The indisputable fact that companies, and I’ve this with me, are leaking paperwork, are exhibiting WhatsApp messages of you with individuals, they’re saying are speaking about medication. With alleged drug sellers in line with the companies, so now you’ve got the Narcotics Control Bureau concerned. What would you say about these WhatsApp messages that apparently present you speaking to a seller about “Get me MD” speaking about weed, and so on?
Rhea Chakraborty: I’ve by no means spoken to a seller in my life, I’ve by no means taken medication in my life. I’m prepared to go for a blood take a look at. I deny all these allegations and I want to save the remaining for when the investigation takes place as a result of something I say will get misconstrued.
NDTV: As these WhatsApp messages present, and as you’ve stated that Sushant was taking medication, or he was having weed?
Rhea Chakraborty: Yes, it’s unlucky that we have now to talk about him on this gentle. But it is not been accomplished by me, the Pandora’s field has been opened by his household. They have put out these allegations. I wished his reminiscence to be pristine and delightful, as a result of he was a stupendous boy. But in flip these allegations are being placed on me. And the actual fact stays that sure Sushant used to smoke marijuana. I attempted my finest to regulate him, to make him cease, this was the one division the place I used to be attempting to regulate him in one thing. I used to be attempting to make him cut back it actually. And I’ve been put able the place sadly each single personal element of my life and my pal’s life is public. A easy “I am sorry” is taken out of proportion and me being handled like worse than a terrorist… my household’s psychological well being is being destroyed. This is, that is just like the systematic breakdown of a complete household.
NDTV: But in a way, Rhea, did not it start once you first tweeted to the Home Minister of India asking for CBI probe into it. Did you truly open that Pandora’s field in a way your self? The indisputable fact that the Supreme Court has accepted and I once more wish to learn out this, that the Bihar first info report (FIR) ought to be investigated which incorporates the claims of Sushant Singh’s father the place he stated within the FIR that once you left on June Eight you had taken money, jewelry, laptop computer, bank cards. That you had been dealing with his checking account from which crores of rupees had been withdrawn, that you simply had threatened to point out physician receipts to the media and show that Sushant Singh was mad after which no particular person would give him work. And then on June 8, Sushant’s secretary Disha dedicated suicide. You had appointed Disha as a secretary, you had blocked Sushant’s quantity and Sushant was afraid that you’d body within the suicide of Disha. These are from the Bihar FIR primarily based on his father’s complaints.
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am they’re fully baseless, they’re worse than rumours. I by no means took a single rupee from Sushant. My financial institution statements are there I’m already been probed by ED. This Rs 15 crore they’re speaking about doesn’t exist now that Sushant’s financial institution statements are on the market. This is a really massive quantity it might have been discovered, it can’t be hidden, it can not disappear into skinny air. We had an organization collectively the place we had been equal companions the place all of us gave 33,000 every. No transaction was ever made in that firm. I used to be not isolating Sushant, actually he met his household on a number of events in November. In January, he actually went to Chandigarh to his sister and brother in legislation OP Singh’s home. He got here again from there, why did they let him come again in the event that they stated I used to be isolating him. In February, they met him once more in Mumbai, the place they’re sitting in a restaurant having meals and smiling at one another. Why had been they making these complaints and saying get that lady and whack her? That was the message to a senior cop in Mumbai Police by Sushant’s brother-in-law. Why had been they making that and this does not make sense to me, for those who thought that, you had your brother in legislation, you had Sushant sitting with you at a restaurant you need to have advised him what you felt. You ought to have taken him again with you.
NDTV: Why did you tweet to the Home Minister asking for a CBI inquiry? Do you assume there was foul play in Sushant’s loss of life? Do you assume he was murdered? Why did you try this?
Rhea Chakraborty: I used to be not there from June Eight to 14. I wish to know what occurred in that one week, whether or not it was suicide, whether or not it was homicide. If it was suicide, what drove him to that time as a result of he had all the time advised me that he would by no means take such a drastic step and that is what shakes me. And that is why I need India’s apex establishment, which is CBI, to come back and examine this and I requested for CBI inquiry earlier than the Bihar FIR, lengthy earlier than the Bihar FIR. I do not know the way individuals have turned this round and made this as “I don’t want CBI.” I think about CBI, think about the federal government and that’s the reason I’m nonetheless alive.
NDTV: It has turn into an enormous political challenge. You talked about additionally in your assertion to the Supreme Court that this has turn into about politics. That there’s a Bihar election arising. There’s additionally the truth that you’ve political get together leaders focusing on Maharashtra authorities, Aditya Thackeray, saying that he’s linked to this case in a roundabout way and that is why the Mumbai Police was going smooth on you.
Rhea Chakraborty: The Mumbai Police by no means went smooth, they had been actually extraordinarily harsh… ED was one harsh investigation. CBI goes to be one other such investigation and every investigation takes away part of the psychological well being. Because to the world it is like: do the investigation. Yes, I need the reality to come back out so I’m cooperating. I’ve been the centre and the one that was most questioned in all of those investigations. I wish to know the reality, I do not perceive why no one is questioning the truth that his sister Mitu was with him from (June) Eight to the 13. She left on the 13th, if she felt his psychological well being was not okay, if she felt that he was upset due to me or due to this Disha Saliya, then why did she go away?
NDTV: The Mumbai Police went into a very completely different factor the place they had been interviewing members of the movie business on problems with nepotism and whether or not he felt unhealthy of being not noted or sidelined from the movie business. That was one fully completely different investigation. Now you’ve been questioned by the ED. What is the ED centered on as a result of companies are additionally leaking stuff which appears damaging to you as nicely. Reports of a Khar flat being purchased the place it’s not clear the place the supply of cash is… the truth that you are being investigated for cash laundering is a really completely different investigation from the Mumbai Police.
Rhea Chakraborty: It’s actually unhappy that my whole WhatsApp chats, something and the whole lot, is on the market. It’s solely been given to the companies. I’ve not given my telephone to anybody else. It’s actually unhappy that I’ve no privateness left, my buddies’ numbers are being flashed on TV, I’m being accused of the whole lot beneath the solar and no one is asking me what actually occurred and that is why right now I really feel it is time for me to talk up due to this one-sided narrative, each single particular person in my home…
NDTV: In truth your father was on the ED the entire day right now, your brother is on the CBI. So your brother – many have requested why an organization was arrange with you, Sushant and your brother. Your father you stated is a retired Army surgeon – he is being questioned by the ED. The lockers will likely be opened. What was the ED investigation like for you and your loved ones?
Rhea Chakraborty: They wish to know each monetary element and we’re completely satisfied to offer that, there’s completely no drawback in cooperation and I’m prepared, greater than prepared, to cooperate with each investigation company which needs to research any matter with me, however all I ask for within the meantime is for a good trial by the media, by the individuals, to simply have religion and wait, as a result of in flip your actually, actually are breaking down a easy harmless middle-class household, and a person who has served the nation as nicely.
NDTV: A easy harmless middle-class household… But Rhea, the portrayal is totally completely different. Tell us about Sushant and also you… once you final noticed him, once you first met him. Did you ever assume that Sushant may take his personal life?
Rhea Chakraborty: I actually, I nonetheless do not consider it and I did not assume that such a factor would ever occur. He was completely the most effective man, completely essentially the most stunning particular person I met in my life. He was clever and filled with concepts and he had desires and he wished to alter the world for the higher, he wished to assist kids, he wished to do charities as he did lots as nicely, he was extraordinarily loving. He was the best boyfriend and he actually taken care of me. He would give me recommendation, if something I might take plenty of recommendation on each single factor in my life, as a result of he was, on the finish of the day, a star and I actually was happy with him for that and happy with what he has achieved in his lifetime. And coming from a small city and we bonded over it as a result of I additionally grew up throughout India, wherever my dad was being posted in numerous locations. I additionally come from a small city. I additionally am an outsider. I’m additionally attempting to make it on this business and we actually wish to do this stuff. We have a friendship that’s one thing spectacular. And our relationship was one thing of a film, one thing of fairy story and sure, there have been issues, and sure, he was going by despair and nervousness.
NDTV: No, as a result of going by your personal assertion. It was a relationship that started in April, 2019 however very quickly after that psychological well being points began arising. Was Sushant first recognized when he was with you as a bipolar and really extreme when it comes to the locking him up, the staying away from beating anyone and at the moment… and maybe that is why his household is so upset with you as a result of he had additionally lower himself off from his household fully and appeared to be very near yours. I requested about it due to the truth that your brother accompanied you in your Europe journeys, the truth that your brother was in an organization with him… why ought to that be, contemplating he would have been a current pal of Sushant’s, most likely after he had met you.
Rhea Chakraborty: So Shovik and Sushant shared plenty of frequent pursuits. Like enjoying sports activities. My brother was impressed by Sushant, he was like an elder brother to him, he was like any person he aspired to be like. And if he was all for a sure topic, he would contain my brother, “read about this read, about that” and when his dream undertaking on this digital actuality firm was to begin, he wished companions and naturally the primary best option for him had been me and my brother. As he was already discussing this stuff with us like Artificial Intelligence and digital actuality and he was instructing us all of the issues, and he was giving us assignments to do actually. And there have been no monetary transactions. People see that angle and assume that it was for cash and simply due to the corporate phrase everybody thinks its cash, cash, cash. That’s not the case. All we did was begin the corporate which requires little or no quantity of monetary funding by companions equally and sadly not one of the work kicked off, sadly none of these initiatives got here to life. But there was actually no different agenda, or something to it, actually we wished Sushant to realize his desires, he had 150 desires. And one among them was to create free schooling for kids. One of them was to create one thing on synthetic intelligence that may assist kids study higher and research higher and I did the whole lot in my capability to assist.
NDTV: You say that it was like a film however the truth is that it ended on a bitter notice when in a way, as you stated, Sushant requested you to depart his home. He did not contact you after that, besides as soon as. He truly lower off all ties with you. There are messages then with movie director Mahesh Bhatt and also you had been, in a way, you stated you’ve got left. Mahesh Bhatt says “think of your father, child”. So it ended on an especially bitter notice and it did not finish in any form of fairy tail on a contented notice. So in a way you guys had been fully estranged then. Why did that occur if issues had been going so nicely?
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am, actually, even in January 2020 he requested me to depart as soon as and his clarification then was that he’s going to Patna after which the very subsequent day he referred to as me again and I went again and I most likely thought that this might be one of many similar. In June 2020, he was planning to shift to Coorg and he was planning to maneuver there. He even had contacted his legal professionals and had requested Sidharth Pithani to seek out him a home there. And this time round once more he was asking me to depart and I assumed he’ll name me again like he usually does however for the subsequent 24 hours he did not. And even when he messaged me, it was simply to ask about how I’m, how I’m doing however nothing about him wanting me again. And naturally, if you’re caring for somebody and you like somebody a lot, they ask you to depart, you do really feel upset, you do really feel like, why does he not want me anymore, why does he not need me anymore and these insecurities as a woman, any lady can perceive. That in case your boyfriend or associate asks you to depart unexpectedly and you’ve got been there for him in each capability and you will have an incredible relationship you’ll be upset and therefore I blocked him. And the subsequent day, I used to be fully damaged as a result of even the subsequent day, he messaged my brother and it had no point out of him wanting me again, only a message saying handle her. How is she doing and you’re taking care and take care and that was very uncommon, Sushant would by no means try this, he would all the time need me again. And I knew that his sister was there, and I knew that they’d be extra snug with out me and with out my presence. I did not know what might be the rationale, why he did not wish to see me. And in fact it harm me and naturally it made me realise that perhaps he doesn’t need me anymore.
NDTV: How extreme was the despair on the time he was with you? Did you warn his household about it?
Rhea Chakraborty: Yes, he was actually in contact along with his household all all through his despair. After we got here again from the journey, actually on the journey, even from Italy and Vienna, he had began contacting his father and his sisters to inform them that he’s anxious and to inform them that he’s getting nervousness. In truth, after coming again he was continually in contact with them for 2 months earlier than they got here to Mumbai to go to him at Waterstone in November. They determined to depart the identical night time they came over him. If they thought that I used to be not the suitable particular person in his life, actually I advised them about all of the remedy and all of the medical doctors and handed over the whole lot to them. Yet they left in the midst of the night time. That’s why I do not perceive, I perceive them not liking me as a result of {our relationships} had been strained from the start. In April, when his sister Priyanka tried to grope me in my sleep and I advised Sushant. The subsequent day that they had an altercation of which chats are on the market, the place Sushant is saying that Priyanka has misbehaved drunk. It’s molestation and he is messaging his brother-in-law Siddharth, who’s Priyanka’s husband, saying that you realize, you realize this about her, you know the way she is manipulating issues. They wished to do a case on him on this month and I hope that these messages come out now that the whole lot is popping out. They had been about to do a case towards Sushant in these months. And thereafter, regardless that his sister got here in November, I wished him to be along with his household, as a result of it was a really severe challenge.
NDTV: Rhea, you paint an image of a really completely different, nearly dysfunctional household. You stated that Sushant was in a way estranged from his father. You stated his mom additionally suffered from the identical points. How do you know this? What is the proof you’ve?
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am, one which Sushant advised me, and two that in 2011 his sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, who lives within the US if I’m not mistaken… she put out a publish on psychological well being on her Facebook account, you’ll discover it in public area about psychological well being, about how her mom was struggling and about how she feels strongly about the way it runs in her household, it is a genetic factor and the way she needs to do one thing about psychological well being. She took it down from her Facebook web page the day of the FIR in Patna.
NDTV: In truth she has additionally tweeted right now saying that you simply should not be given a platform, a nationwide platform, to precise your views. But the daddy appears to have reached out to Sushant time and again. He says you truly blocked him from contacting his son.
Rhea Chakraborty: Sushant’s father solely messaged me as soon as. That was when Sushant was within the hospital, Hinduja, he was admitted beneath Dr Kersey. He had wished to get admitted himself. As you realize since I’m not legally at energy to confess anybody forcefully, it needed to be his personal will and which it was. His father had contacted Sushant in addition to his supervisor Shruti in addition to me, nevertheless it was one message to me and I advised Sushant since I used to be there with him and he referred to as him the identical day. You can test his name logs. He didn’t need me to answer to him for some purpose. What will you do if you’re along with your associate and so they have one thing happening with their household that you do not fully perceive and so they inform “you stay out of it I’ll handle it.” He spoke to his father on his personal as a result of Sushant’s father’s chat with Shruti reveals that he says I’ve spoken to Sushant. But for those who’ve spoken to Sushant you need to inform him to inform Shruti to ebook the tickets. If that is what he needs.
NDTV: Lets come again to that time I raised earlier. Why do you assume that the Bihar elections or Bihar politics has something to do with this. And have you learnt Aditya Thackeray? Have you ever met him… what’s the complete Aditya Thackeray angle which retains arising linked to this case and also you?
Rhea Chakraborty: There is a name log of mine that’s leaked which has a pal of mine, Anaya Udas whose title has been saved as AU. Her title is Anaya Udas, however they’re representing it as Aditya Uddhav or Aditya Thackeray. I’ve by no means met, I’ve by no means spoken or have the variety of Aditya Thackeray. I solely know him as all of you realize him on TV. I’ve no different political connections. I have no idea something about why that is taking place and what politics is concerned. I simply know {that a} easy household who has not accomplished something is being handled worse than a terrorist.
NDTV: So once you hear {that a} BJP chief needs an anti-terror company to research this, what’s your response?
Rhea Chakraborty: I’m shocked as a result of I really feel like this, like it is a breaking down of a household. Tomorrow if one thing occurs to us and it is not as a result of we have accomplished something nevertheless it’s due to super strain. There is the media outdoors screaming all types of names. There are false allegations, on a regular basis there’s a new accusation or allegation by the household to me. Sometimes it is about being a assassin, generally it is about being a thief, generally it is about one thing. Sometimes it is about medication, and I’m not getting the possibility as a result of I’m a part of so many investigations, proper now three, there’s ED, there’s CBI, there’s NCB. I imply all I’ve left is my spirit and that is being crushed too, Ma’am.
NDTV: You stated that once you left on the eighth of June Sushant died on 14th. When you left on the eighth of June you stated you had been going by panic assaults you had been going to have remedy session as nicely at Sushant’s home, however he stated no go away instantly. When you first heard that Sushant had died what was your first response, what did you undergo and what are you going by proper now?
Rhea Chakraborty: I hear from a typical pal that such and such hearsay is happening about him and for those who’re with him, they assumed that I used to be with him, please inform him to place out an announcement and squash this hearsay. It was solely then that I realised that one thing was bizarre. And then sooner, later it was confirmed that it is true and I used to be fully shattered I used to be fully damaged. My life has been taken away from me; the love of my life has been fully taken away from me. The well being and psychological well being of my household is totally destroyed. I imply it simply could not be worse for me. And the one factor that’s giving me energy to go on is that I’m talking the reality and is that Sushant is right here overlooking the whole lot and serving to me and serving to me get the reality out.
NDTV: You weren’t invited to the funeral you could not see the person you say was the love of your life. You weren’t invited to his funeral. But but you went to the mortuary and lots has been made on the truth that you stated there “sorry Babu” and what we’re sorry about. What went by your thoughts once you had been there you noticed his physique for only a few minutes.
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am, what would you say to somebody who has misplaced their life who you’ve beloved? Ma’am I’m asking you solely what would you say? I’m sorry, I’m sorry you misplaced your life. I’m sorry it is, I imply it is essentially the most primary human courtesy. His sister Shweta Singh Kirti had additionally put out a tweet the day after Sushant Singh died, saying I’m sorry Babu the identical factor and she or he stated, “I knew you were suffering. I know you were in pain”. Again, she deleted that, why is no one asking these questions? How is the whole lot being misconstrued to this diploma. A easy I’m sorry is being misconstrued to this diploma.
NDTV: I can think about the tragedy of seeing somebody you liked – his useless physique. But it appears that evidently each day a brand new layer comes out. You’ve seen now along with his complete medication angle popping out. That the actress Kangana Ranaut has tweeted this occurs in all massive Bollywood events that medication are freely accessible, that for those who open it the entire of Bollywood can be uncovered – many A-listers. You have seen numerous different issues like clear up Bollywood is a component of a bigger Nepotism – it is an business which must be cleaned up and Sushant was additionally a sufferer of that. What would you say as somebody who has been a part of the identical system, somebody who did not obtain the success that say Sushant did or the larger stars did however any person who’s a part of the system. Do you assume these are the realities of residing in Bollywood right now? The medication, fixed stress on residing up, you’re a failure or success is outlined by your final film?
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am, it is undoubtedly a really tough business to be part of. The ups are up, the downs are very down and there’s huge strain and I want to say this that it is crucial that there have been sure issues that actually affected him and that actually affected his psychological well being and psychological sanity, and one among them was being falsely accused by the ‘Me Too’ allegations which had been cleared up and solely a lot later. Which appeared like a complete deliberate strategic transfer, accomplished to malign somebody’s repute, and it actually affected him as a result of he was not that form of man in any respect. I lived with him for a year-and-a-half, and he was essentially the most well mannered, most mild, most respectful human being and a person to a girl, and this was being created from that ‘Me Too’ motion, and his co-star Sanjana Sanghi not clarifying it on time after which denying it later. He simply felt that it was a part of some bigger nexus being accomplished by a Rohini Iyer, who pretends to be his pal. And these blind articles that saved popping out every time he would communicate to her. And he felt that there was somebody behind this. I do not know who, he by no means talked about to me who, however I’ve talked about this to Mumbai Police, I’ve talked about this to ED, and I’ll inform and point out this to the CBI as nicely. That additionally not being nominated for awards, not being nominated regardless that his movies had been excellent and received cash as nicely. Not being nominated. His movies being nominated, however not him being nominated. Even although he was such a superb performer, like shockingly nice performances of his weren’t nominated. Even final 12 months throughout Chichore and Sonchiriya, he felt that what’s the level if no one goes to take discover and he was affected by that and this stuff harm him. These frivolous, blind articles and particularly the allegation. The solely purpose I’m emphasising on this specific one is as a result of even in May 2020 he talked about to me about that he was scared that the movie is releasing, so earlier than the promotions he wished to get in contact with Sanjana Sanghi. To see which means she goes, is she going to begin this garbage once more. And he would typically be fearful of her and that within the promotions issues once more will likely be stated about him, about ‘Me Too’. And these are issues that may have an effect on psychological well being and right now I perceive, I fully perceive as a result of I’m going by the identical factor as him.
NDTV: Is it true that medication are prevalent in Bollywood? It is one thing that you simply nearly must survive this sort of business?
Rhea Chakraborty: No ma’am, completely not, I do not consider in that form of idea. But nicely that may be for the investigative companies to resolve.
NDTV: Did you discover, as a result of we talked about your chats with Mahesh Bhatt, you had acted in his film Jalebi additionally. But the truth that this complete groupism, as you stated the Mumbai Police first went on that angle, however this complete allegation of nepotism. The indisputable fact that there are particular camps in Bollywood. You had been Yash Raj, Sushant was Yash Raj. And the truth that he wasn’t invited on Koffee with Karan or some foolish sport performed by Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar is one thing that harm him so deeply he could not get better from that despair – is that true?
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am I personally really feel that it was the ‘Me Too’ allegations is what began the ache and stress and strain to Sushant and he did really feel somebody was behind it. He did not really feel that it was strategically accomplished however all the time simply “them, them, them, and I don’t know who those people are”. But he all the time felt that behind a Sanjana Sanghi there can be another person.
NDTV: When you look – do you want right now that you simply had by no means met Sushant Singh Rajput?
Rhea Chakraborty: No Ma’am. Even right now, even regardless of what me and my household are going by I might have by no means accomplished anything however love him in the best way I did. I proceed to like him that means regardless that I’m going by all of this. It’s his recollections and his face that give me the energy to hold on. It’s his voice in my head saying do not allow them to win. It’s his voice in my head saying you might be sturdy, present them the true you. That retains me going.
NDTV: I’m not one to evaluate you right here. I’m a journalist and my job is to ask you questions. I undoubtedly do not wish to indict you – harmless, responsible that is not my job. But the actual fact is, you’ve got been judged already, the hashtags on different TV channels say arrest Rhea Chakrabarty proper now. You get rape and loss of life threats. Do you’re feeling that that is additionally taking place as a result of you’re a girl? The final time I noticed this was within the Aarushi trial after I noticed her dad and mom being hounded in the same means. CBI case dragged on for years, and no actual end result. Do you are concerned that one thing like that may occur to you? What would you say in regards to the assault that’s taking place on you?
Rhea Chakraborty: I’m simply due to his girlfriend, simply because I’m, I used to be much less profitable than him that makes me a gold digger and an exploiter for my profession. Just as a result of I used to be taking care of him as a result of he was right here alone. People have made tales that I used to be doing this to him on function. Why would I do that to him when I’m doing a movie with him publish the lockdown. He’s the most effective boyfriend to me, he loves me. Why would I do one thing like this? These allegations are made as a result of has a girlfriend he usee ne he kiya hoga. Girls are manipulative, Bengali ladies do black magic. Uski aukat kya hai to be with a star like him. It’s actually, actually unhappy that anytime something occurs to a person the lady is blamed. If she’s the girlfriend, if she’s the bahu. The in-laws additionally typically blame the bahu that, bahu theekh say nahi kar rahi hai. I assumed in India right now we might have moved away from these stereotypes and this unlucky slander towards ladies, nevertheless it continues. This is an absolute witch-hunt. And me being Bengali is a cherry on the cake for them as a result of apparently all Bengali ladies do black magic. I do not perceive this.
NDTV: I do not perceive that both, that black magic garbage. And additionally the Bihar BJP stated that. He stated that about you the iski aukat kya hai that she’s going to say one thing in regards to the Chief Minister of Bihar. What was your response once you heard that? What is Rhea Chakraborty’s aukat?
Rhea Chakraborty: My aukat is that Sushant beloved me. Sushant Singh Rajput who now everybody claims to like, beloved me.
NDTV: Rhea once more we come again to what the household says, and neglect the household, once more they’re grieving so I do not wish to get into the household and what they stated particularly. But what the companies are charging you with. It’s not a couple of love story, it’s a legal story. Very severe allegations – it’s tax payers cash which is paying for this investigation. It is going on at a tempo that we’ve not seen in lots of circumstances, involving financial institution scams, involving homicide, involving rape. We will not see this sort of consideration on it. But we see it proper now on you.
Rhea Chakraborty: I do not appear to grasp why I’m within the centre of this. I really feel prefer it’s partly due to this mentality {that a} girlfriend is manipulative or there’s a sure witch-hunt mentality that goes round on this nation. And it is partly as a result of his household has made all these false allegations. And it is simply unhappy to me that collectively all of that is the, I by no means thought the world might be this sick. I by no means thought that humanity might be shredded to this diploma, you realize. That individuals cannot see by false stuff, that folks cannot see by made-up information and other people need to proceed to believing all of the gossip. They have made my life like watching a cleaning soap opera, like it’s at least watching a Saas Bahu present on prime-time tv, on information channels right now. No proof, simply baseless allegations, morphing random individuals who weren’t in his life, taking statements from right here and there. Everyone has turn into the Judge and the Jury. I humbly enchantment to all the ladies to have ever misplaced a beloved one of their life, whether or not it is a husband or a son or a boyfriend or a brother. Just since you had been of their life you aren’t the trigger. You most likely had been the caregiver.
NDTV: In indisputable fact that individuals who have come out strongest towards you might be ladies. You’ve received Ankita, his ex-girlfriend saying that when he was with me there have been by no means any ideas of suicide. You stated that he had a medication that he took on flights. She’s tweeted an image of him on a simulator saying he beloved flying.
Rhea Chakraborty: That’s why he wished to discover ways to fly, so he would not really feel the claustrophobia. And in order that he by no means has to sit down within the again as a passenger. She would not know that as a result of she was not in his life for the final 4 years. She had no communication with him, but Ms. Ankita Lokhande makes statements like Sushant advised her that I used to be harassing him? But when did you communicate to him that he advised you all of this? How are you able to make this assertion when you have not spoken to him, and the subsequent assertion is that you have not spoken to him? So, you have not spoken to him, but he advised you in some way? Ma’am, do individuals not see by this? Do individuals not see that she is mendacity? Is it not fairly clear?
NDTV: What about different ladies who’ve spoken out towards you?
Rhea Chakraborty: Even with Ankita I might anticipate that she most likely beloved him sooner or later and she or he ought to have understood the form of ache that I’m going by. She ought to have truly reached out to me as a substitute of moving into speaking all types of lies about me. And even with different ladies, I do not know the way and why they consider all these tales. I simply wish to ask one query, what if this was taking place to you? What if this was taking place to your daughter? What if this was taking place to your sister? What if this was taking place to your finest pal? Would you continue to be a part of this witch-hunt?
NDTV: Do you assume that this has turn into an election challenge? Do you assume that the loss of life of Sushant is now all about politics?
Rhea Chakraborty: It’s actually unhappy that Sushant’s loss of life has turn into a spectacle. They are debating, they’re simply destroying his reminiscence. This is just not the best way that he ought to be remembered. This is that not the best way. He did superb issues in his life, not the photographs which are circulating. If you think about your self a fan of Sushant how will you flow into such painful photos of him on the market. And I perceive that you really want justice for him, so do I. I requested for the CBI inquiry earlier than you. I wish to know what occurred between the eighth and the 14th. I requested for the inquiry earlier than you. But does that imply that I’m mistaken? Just as a result of I used to be his girlfriend, I do not perceive the mentality. I do not perceive the absurdity of it I do not perceive why anybody cannot see by it.
NDTV: What do you assume killed Sushant Singh?
Rhea Chakraborty: I actually, I actually wish to know, I actually wish to know that what occurred within the final one week, whether or not it was suicide or whether or not it was one thing else and I’m completely satisfied {that a} prime company like CBI is concerned, as a result of there are such a lot of conspiracy theories and so many rumours happening about this that they’ll lastly be capable to make clear all that.
NDTV: I wish to ask you the three principal prices once more, so it is vitally clear what your stances are. Charge 1, you took cash from Sushant Singh Rajput. He funded your loved ones, that the cash laundering is the true challenge right here.
Rhea Chakraborty: Absolutely not, I didn’t take a single rupee from Sushant. No cash was ever transferred from Sushant to me or any of my members of the family accounts. We beloved one another, we lived as girlfriend boyfriend and we lived collectively. There had been most likely a couple of issues he purchased me from Zara and so on which at the moment are within the public area as did I purchase him, however I imply aside from that there was no; our relationship was not a monetary relationship. We had been in love identical to every other regular couple. We dwell collectively and that is about it I do not know this has turn into a monetary exploitation angle. And please inform me which gold digger retailers at Zara?
NDTV: Second cost, you poisoned him, you had been controlling his medication. And his remedy, you chop him off from his outdated workers. You lower him off from his outdated buddies.
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am, firstly Sushant had 5 medical doctors and he had prescriptions; they had been prescription medicines that he would tackle his personal or ask anybody to provide him if he was too low on a selected day. He had medical doctors visiting him, the whole lot was accomplished beneath the supervision, they’re top-notch medical doctors, not some random medical doctors and there have been 4, 5 of them. Secondly, he stopped taking remedy in Jan 2020 at his personal will. If I used to be forcing him, I might haven’t let him cease. Thirdly in June, when he spoke to Dr Kursi Chawla on June third and Dr Kursi Chawla despatched a prescription. Again, he didn’t take these medicines. And fourthly, poison him? This is essentially the most unhappy and weird and pathetic allegation to make on somebody who beloved somebody. And primarily based on what? Based on what, what is that this primarily based on?
NDTV: Do you assume Rhea, that the Sushant you knew may have taken his personal life?
Rhea Chakraborty: Ma’am I wish to know. I actually need justice. If there’s something that is absurd and mistaken and if there’s foul play then I need justice for Sushant. If that is suicide and what are the causes of that, I need justice for Sushant. I, that is why I wish to know what occurred from the eighth to the 13th whereas his sister Meetu Ji was there, whereas different individuals had been there in the home, what transpired in that week that led to this? Even I wish to know. The similar query that every one of India is asking, I’m asking the identical query.
NDTV: But do you assume that the person you knew may have accomplished this? There are so many misconceptions about psychological well being. In truth one of many greatest casualties is the best way individuals are speaking about psychological well being. People assume that any person who appears completely satisfied could not do that. Do you assume he may have accomplished this?
Rhea Chakraborty: No sadly individuals decide despair and nervousness and psychological well being so poorly and so badly that the particular person and their help group discover it actually tough, as a result of they can not overtly inform individuals. Because when he would inform people who he was affected by despair they’d flip round and say it is your Karma or you might be simply doing this for consideration. Or some garbage like that. So, the particular person going to it does really feel very misunderstood and that may be a very massive purpose most likely why individuals in despair commit suicide. In Sushant’s case I actually do not perceive why he would do one thing like this. Yes, he was going by despair and nervousness. But he was actually preventing laborious, and he was getting higher and he was higher many a occasions. Yes, his situation had worsened throughout the lockdown however I actually do not know what occurred in these seven days. Even if he had been to take some step like this, so drastic, there must be a purpose and opposite to what individuals consider that somebody who’s depressed will not smile or giggle, that is not true, that is not true.
NDTV: There are experiences that you could possibly be arrested as quickly as tomorrow. If you might be arrested tomorrow what would you prefer to say right now to the people who find themselves watching this? And what would you prefer to say maybe to Sushant’s household?
Rhea Chakraborty: I might ask this household to have some humanity, have some sympathy. Even for those who don’t love me do not destroy me and my household. I cannot allow you to win. Because I’m talking the reality and the reality will prevail. And I’ll be sure that, regardless that I break each second and also you break each member of my household emotionally and mentally, I’ll struggle until my final breath till the reality comes out.
NDTV: What would you say to all of the media who’re hounding you?
Rhea Chakraborty: I might say, please do not be the judges. Let the legislation enforcement companies do their jobs. Let the individuals being investigated do their job by offering the legislation enforcement companies no matter they want. Have religion within the Judiciary as I do, and please let me have a good trial. Please do not make this a narrative line that is fully baseless. Please be accountable as a result of that is about my life, and my household’s life and there are 4 individuals concerned on this, me and my three members of the family. You is likely to be the rationale that their lives get fully destroyed.
NDTV: Are you frightened Rhea about being arrested?
Rhea Chakraborty: No, I’m not, I have never accomplished something, why ought to I be arrested? I’m cooperating with all of the investigative companies.
NDTV: What would you say lastly to all of the people who find themselves watching this?
Rhea Chakraborty: I might say that there are all the time two sides to a narrative, you’ve been listening to one narrative and one story for the final a number of months. Please attempt to see the practicality and the logic of what I’m saying. Please perceive that there might be no motive for me to do one thing like this. I completely beloved and am discovering it tough to dwell with out. Please attempt to see by all of the pretend information and all of the drama that is happening in all of the circus they’ve created by destroying any person’s loss of life and making it a really bizarre weird state of affairs. And please attempt to have some coronary heart to see what me and household are going by may be very unfair.
NDTV: Rhea thanks very a lot for talking to NDTV, and thanks for talking to us dwell.
