Actor Rhea Chakraborty recently opened up about Sushant Singh Rajput’s mental health issues and how that might have been the reason for his untimely death. The deceased actor’s sister Shweta later took to Instagram to post a cryptic note taking a jibe at her comments. She seemingly hit out at Rhea for ‘blaming the person who has passed on’ and is not around to defend themselves anymore. She also mentioned how they would relentlessly continue to fight for justice.
Shweta posted some old pictures of Sushant where he can be seen sharing a smile with his fans. “Blaming the person who has passed on… who can’t defend himself anymore. I wonder what answer will you give to your conscience! My Bhai had a pure heart and he is beating in hearts of millions. We don’t feel the need to come out and say anything because people can feel the truth. Bhai was, Bhai is and will always be our pride! The kind of love he has stirred in every heart.. Will never die!! We will relentlessly fight for his justice,” she wrote while using the hashtag like ‘justice 4 Sushant’.

As readers would know, Rhea Chakraborty recently attended the India Today Conclave where she spoke about her adversities after being blamed for Sushant’s death. A case of alleged abetment to suicide was registered against her by Sushant’s father. She was jailed for six weeks on the charges of procuring drugs for the late actor.
During her interaction at India Today Conclave, Rhea Chakraborty shared how even today, a woman is often blamed if something goes wrong in their male partner’s life. Hitting out at patriarchal conditioning, she said, “Unfortunately, even today if some man is successful and he gets married and his success ratio drops they will say dekho jab se ye zindagi mein aayi tab se ye iska career kharab ho gaya hai (his career was affected from the time she came in his life). It’s almost like the man had no identity before the woman. Men in India most definitely do not listen to their wives or girlfriends and if they did it would’ve been a much better society… He (Sushant Singh Rajput) had his own identity. He came from a small town that made it big in Bollywood which isn’t a mind that can’t be controlled. There is no black magic in this world, let me clear that.
The actor shared that knew about Sushant’s mental health issues, and added that people are not ready to accept that one could be depressed despite being rich and famous. “So when they have somebody who has fame and money, they go like ‘he is depressed toh main kyu kar raha/rahi hu (what am I doing)?’ that is what doesn’t sit well with people. Mental health is completely misunderstood or is slowly getting understood because of this it is very difficult for people to digest the fact that someone who is rich and famous could be mentally affected and depressed,” Rhea said.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14, 2020.
