It is a little strange to see Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex Ankita Lokhande, with whom he split in 2016 never to look back, get so deeply involved in his life after his death. The truth is, she was no part of his life after they split in 2016. Once they moved apart, they moved away irreversibly to other directions, never to meet again. Never to speak again. In fact I remember asking Sushant if he was in touch with Ankita since their split. His answer was a firm, “No not at all.” Now suddenly she is emphatically present in the thick of the tragedy. It is touching to see Ms Lokhande taking such a keen interest in getting justice for Sushant. But did she try even once to find out how he was when he had stopped meeting his old friends and withdrawn into a shell? If even a fraction all the concern that is pouring in from every conceivable place had been spared during Sushant’s lifetime, perhaps he would have been with us today. It is easy...

New facts are being revealed almost every day with regards to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. On one hand, Sushant’s family refused to have any knowledge regarding his medical condition and said that they were not informed by Rhea Chakraborty about his health. However, a recently discovered WhatsApp chat between the late actor’s ex-manager, Shruti Modi, and his sister Nitu Singh suggests otherwise. Nitu Singh, whom he lovingly addressed as Rani Di is seen asking Shruti about the prescriptions and a doctor that can come home. The chat reads that Shruti had sent across a medical prescription that had medicines like, Serta, Clonotril, Oleanz, and Qutipin. Along with the medicines’ names, Shruti had also sent across the contact of a certain Dr. Susan Walker Psychotherapy. These chats refute the claim of Sushant’s family being unaware of his mental health. As of now, the CBI is investigating the case while the Narcotics department is looking through the drug angle in the case and the ...

Sandip Ssingh, known to people who know him well as one of the strangest wheeler-dealers of the film industry, finds the net closing in on him in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. There are many unanswered questions about Ssingh's presence at Sushant's residence on the afternoon of his death on June 14 and the claims of friendship that he made on news channels on the days following the tragic death. The man, known to the industry for pushing himself into various influential camps (he was shunned by both Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Priyanka Chopra), has been contradicting himself every step of the way.

Making this startling revelation (hasn’t Ssingh been claiming to be Sushant’s best friend?) a leading filmmaker divulges, “I was keen to sign Sushant for a film. But his number had chan...
