Rhea said that while she was upset when she left Sushant’s home and did reach out to Bhatt, those messages had nothing to do with her and Sushant. She said Mahesh Bhatt is like a father figure to her. She cleared the air and said that she texted Bhatt to seek advice.

“I was upset and hurt, that SSR didn’t call me back and didn’t want me back, I wondered if he wanted to push me away because I was unwell. But my conversation with Bhattsaab had nothing to do with that,” Rhea told Rajdeep Sardesai.

ABOUT DESTROYED HARD DRIVES

Siddharth Pithani had reportedly confessed to CBI that 8 hard drives were destroyed before Rhea left SSR’s house.

This is a baseless allegation, there was no hard drive that I know of, no one came while I was there

Denying the same saying it was a concocted story, Rhea said, “This is a baseless allegation, there was no hard drive that I know of, no one came while I was there. Perhaps, after I left, his sister, who was there from June 8 to June 13, may have called someone, but I am not aware of it. Till the time I was there, nothing of the sort happened.”

“I don’t even think Siddharth Pithani said something like that, I believe this is a concocted story, much like several others doing the rounds,” Rhea added.

DIDN’T CHANGE STAFF

Addressing allegations of changing SSR’s staff and gaining control over his life, Rhea said that she never changed Sushant’s staff, but was introduced to them by the actor himself. She said Sushant’s sister Priyanka hired Samuel Miranda.

“I did not do anything to gain control of his life. He knew Siddharth Pithani before he knew me. Samuel Miranda was hired by his sister Priyanka. Even Keshav, Neeraj and Dipesh were with him since before me. In fact, he introduced me to them,” Rhea told India Today.

DON’T KNOW SANDIP SINGH…HE NEVER CAME HOME

Sandip Singh has claimed to SSR’s close friend, but he came under the scanner after his records for the past year revealed that he had not spoken to Sushant Singh Rajput at all.

Echoing SSR’s family claim, Rhea said she didn’t know Sandip “I don’t know Sandip Ssingh. He has never come home. He never called. If he is such a good friend, where was he in the last one-and-a-half years? I can guarantee that you will see no signs of his name in Sushant’s call logs,” Rhea added.

ON ‘SORRY BABU’ COMMENT

It was reported that when Rhea visited Cooper Hospital to see Sushant Singh Rajput one last time, she had said ‘I Am Sorry Babu’. 

Replying to that she said – “Yes, what else is someone supposed to say to someone who has lost their life? I am sorry you have lost your life. I am sorry that your death has been made a joke. I am sorry your last memory is not going to be your good work, your intelligence, your charity. I am sorry that everyone has made a joke of your life and I am sorry you have lost your life.” 

MORTUARY VISIT

SSR’s mortal remains were taken to the mortuary in Cooper Hospital for post-mortem after his demise. Rhea revealed what happened in the mortuary. She said she saw his body for a few seconds as it was being transferred to the van from the mortuary for his funeral.

Rhea Chakraborty mentioned that she was present in the mortuary for about 3-4 seconds. “Most probably, 3-4 seconds. I was told to wait outside.” 

After sharing that she was told to wait outside the mortuary, Rhea mentioned that it was her friends who requested officials to allow her to see SSR’s mortal remains. 

“My friends requested somebody that she wants to see the body once. They said once the post-mortem was over, when the body is being taken from the mortuary to the van for the funeral, you can see it then. When it was on the way to the van, I got to see the body for 3 seconds. I said ‘I am sorry’, because, I am… that he has lost his life. I touched his feet as a mark of respect, which any Indian could understand why anyone touches someone’s feet.”

ON FUNERAL ABSENCE

Rhea also said that she didn’t go to Sushant’s house as his family didn’t want her there.

“One of my friends said that it is important for me to see his body for the last time because if I don’t, I will not get closure”

She further said, “I was ready to go to the funeral, but my industry friends told me not to go as his family doesn’t want me there. I would only be insulted and be asked to leave from there. Then one of my friends said that it is important for me to see his body for the last time because if I don’t, I will not get closure and it will be hard to accept the fact that he is no more.”

The actress then went to the mortuary to see his body.
