After maintaining a stoic silence for months, Rhea Chakraborty in her recent interview with India Today opened up on a series of topics in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case. The Jalebi actress confirmed that the late actor was a marijuana user. “Yes, Sushant used to smoke marijuana, he used to take it even before he met me. He started this during Kedarnath. I used to control him in this department only. He was a man of his own choices and nobody could stop him.”The actress revealed that the drug angle that has been talked about in the media is totally baseless. She said that she has never taken any drugs ever.
"It really sad to discuss vices of someone who is gone, but Sushant used to take drugs." Earlier, WhatsApp chats were accessed by TV channels between Rhea and other members of Sushant’s staff, claimed to be a proof of drug usage. Rhea had earlier said in a statement via her lawyer, denying claims that she has ever used drugs. “Rhea has never consumed drugs in her life ever. She is ready for a blood test,” her lawyer Satish Maneshinde had said. On Thursday, Sushant’s father KK Singh said in a self-made video, “Rhea Chakraborty was giving poison to my son, Sushant for a long time, she is his murderer. The investigating agency must arrest her and her associates.” His statement came just a day after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) registered a case against Rhea and others in connection with the death case of Sushant.
