Sushant Singh Rajput's investigation gets intense as Police records fresh statements of his Dil Bechara co-star Sanjana Sanghi who is also making her Bollywood debut with this film.

As per reports in Zee News, on Tuesday (July 1, 2020)  the police interrogated the 23-year-old actress for more than seven hours and during this time, she was accompanied by her lawyer.

There were online reports stating there were sort of misunderstandings between Sanjana and Sushant while they were shooting for the film and at the same time there were also the MeToo allegations that were making rounds in town. On the basis of these articles and online reports and the various allegations related to their fight and MeToo, the interrogation officer asked various questions to Sanjana.

As per close sources, the young lady denied all the allegations and also termed the news articles and various other reports as unethical and that they hold no truth. She further assured them that there was no substance to these reports and they were just rumours.

In her statement to the police, she revealed how during the shooting of 'Dil Bechara' MeToo allegations against Sushant were splashed all over and that there was no truth behind it.

During the questioning which continued for more than seven hours, Sanjana said she had auditioned for the role in 'Dil Bechara' and in 2018 director Mukesh Chhabra, who is also making his debut as a filmmaker signed her. She later got to know that Sushant will be playing the lead in the movie with her. She met Sushant first time on the sets of the movie. The film 'Dil Bechara' was previously titled 'Kizie Aur Manny'.

In 2018, when MeToo movement gained momentum and several names from the Hindi movie industry popped-up, reports alleging that Sanjana had accused Sushant of over-friendly behaviour hogged the limelight. But the actress denied all such reports in her statement to police, saying that she was in the US with her mother at that time. Sanjana said, "I went abroad as one part of the movie was shot and there was time before the next schedule, so I headed to the US with my mom. I had no clue about these allegations against Sushant. When I returned, I got to know about it and took to social media to clarify that these claims are baseless."

"I met both Sushant and Mukesh after the incident. Sushant was very upset because of these allegations. He told me how through this Metoo campaign someone is trying to malign his image in public and troll him."

Sushant, back then, had shared a screenshot of his conversation with Sanjana and apologised too. He had clarified that as he cannot get in touch with the actress, who was in the US, he is sharing their conversation details to prove that these allegations are untrue. 

Sanjana said, "I had no issues with him posting the screenshots because the allegations were wrong and he had to prove his side. The actor was sure that someone is trying to malign his reputation with a full plan but who, he never mentioned. Sushant was a very private person, he never discussed his personal life with me.""When the next shoot schedule of the film began, Sushant took time to recover but I and Mukesh were constantly with him throughout."

However, Sanjana maintained that she had no clue about Sushant's upcoming movies or whether he was suffering from depression or not. According to the actress, Sushant acted normal on the sets and had a strong presence of mind. He often used to share anecdotes of his life and funny incidents from Patna. Most of their conversations were related to movies only. The Mumbai police have recorded the statement of as many as 28 people closely associated with Sushant Singh Rajput as of now.

Meanwhile, friends, well wishers and industry colleagues have been visiting the late actor’s family to offer condolence messages. Nana Patekar, TV actress Ratan Raajputh, Shekhar Suman, Sandip Ssingh paid a visit to Sushant’s hometown Patna to spend some time with his grieving father and sisters.His close friend Mahesh Shetty who was also his last call (a call that didn’t go through, as per reports) visited the late actor’s sister at his Bandra house, yesterday.

Some of the people that have been questioned by the police in connection with the case include Sushant’s rumoured former girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, his family, his good friend Sandip Ssingh, his house staff, his chartered accountant and YRF’s Shanoo Sharma, among others.
