Actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has dismissed recent reports that he has employed Sushant Singh Rajput’s former cook, Keshav. It was recently reported by a news channel that Keshav has been working for the Luck By Chance actor. Farhan took to Twitter to deny the news, He wrote, sharing a screengrab of a TV news debate, “For the record: I have no person named Keshav working at mine. Unsurprisingly, another lie by a fake news channel famous for peddling lies. Please stop being so gullible. Just because a guy screams it out on TV doesn’t make it true. Reportedly, Keshav was present at Sushant's house on June 14, which is when the actor allegedly died by suicide in Bandra, Mumbai.
Keshav has been questioned by the Mumbai Police during the initial investigation and was later quizzed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), when the central probe agency took over Sushant's death case in August. Earlier, Farhan and his girlfriend Shibani Dandekar have both spoken out against the vilification of Rhea Chakraborty on social media in the late actor's death. The Don director paid tribute to Sushant on June 16, two days after his death, with a poem. He had written, “Sleep my brother Sleep. Let the vultures gather and the crocodiles weep, let the circus performers juggle, contort, bow and leap. Let the shrill get higher let the darkness in the hearts of men get deep. Sleep my brother sleep. RIP Sushant.” Sushant’s family has accused Rhea of abetment to suicide and misappropriation of funds. Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14 at his Bandra residence, leaving the nation in shock.
