Suhrita Das, who is Mahesh Bhatt’s associate and also a screenplay writer for Bhatt’s Vishesh Films wrote a letter to Sushant Singh Rajput’s rumoured girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty. The Facebook post dated June 14, has been deleted but the screenshot of the letter has now gone viral.
In the letter to Rhea, Suhrita can be seen addressing Sushant’s clinical depression, the struggles in Rhea-Sushant’s relationship since everything was outwardly normal but deep within he was slipping away. Suhrita has also revealed how Rhea used to seek ‘counsel from Bhatt Saab’ about Sushant.
She talked about Rhea’s efforts to keep Sushant together while suffering from a catastrophe like clinical depression. She wrote, “Dear Rhea – When the world will be pouring grief for Sushant Singh Rajput and expressing shock and condolence I stand by you firm and strong. Having been a silent spectator to your impossible attempts at trying to keep him together and going…. it is my moral duty as a mother and a citizen of this country to tell once and for all that clinical depression is a catastrophe that medical science has no solution or answer to.
Suhrita also mentioned how Rhea used to go to Mahesh Bhatt for counselling about Sushant. She talked about how Mahesh Bhatt, drawing parallels with Parveen Babi, had advised Rhea to “walk away or this will take you down under along with.”
“Every time you came running to the office to seek counsel from Bhatt Saab or spoke to him on the phone I’ve seen your journey, your struggle. Can’t forget the evening in Sushant’s terrace when it almost felt like everything was normal in the world while deep within he was slipping away. Sir saw that, that’s why he shared the very words his Master UG told him warning him about Parveen Babi, “walk away or this will take you down under along with.”
Suhrita concluded the note by saying that Rhea had done more than her bit in the relationship and urged her to stay strong.
“You gave your everything and more, you did more much more than your bit woman. Love you my Jalebi. Stay strong.”
In connection with Sushant’s case, Rhea Chakraborty had been called to the Bandra Police station for her statement, where she was interrogated for over 9 hours.
