Reading about Rhea, clearly things started going wrong somewhere after their association.. from Reddit-
You know, I first gave her all the benefit of doubt as someone who must be so impacted and shouldn't be blamed but the more the investigation is unravelling, the more this girl is coming out in a negative light. But Rhea's over-involvement in Sushant's life looks so shady in retrospect. She had joint rent agreements with him, there were talks of buying property together (she apparently told of her impending marriage to a property dealer, like wtf), somebody on this sub mentioned she even had stake in Sushant's non-film ventures, business dealings etc. On top of it, she was taking work calls for him. It's like she became his manager, PR, everything within just a year of knowing him.
We read so many blinds about an actor wanting to work with only his gf. We discussed them here and guessed it to be both of them, but now there are actual reports that directors and producers close to Rhea were planning to make movies with the couple (one of the directors has even given an interview saying good things about Rhea and how Sushant's dates were booked till next year- the kind of information only a manager will pass on). Imagine, which couple gets to have multiple movies with both of them casted as leads. And Rhea was a struggling starlet till she started getting papped with Sushant in 2019. I checked this online, and was shocked to find that in 2019, Sushant had changed his PR company to the same firm Rhea was being handled by. Who knows if they were even managed by the same person.
Then she started putting up all these pictures with him (the one which has her brother and his gf was posted on Sushant's account and reposted by Rhea but it's no longer there on his profile) and some reports are now doing rounds that Sushant wasn't happy with all this public display by her. And rightly so as per his personality. He was a reserved person and his social media has little trace of himself even, let alone his personal life. It wasn't him who needed this publicity, it was her, if anyone, who was at all profiting from her 'sudden association' with a successful young actor (now people are pointing out she switched from ARK to SSR and this is around the time of Chhichhore's success). And then of course, Rhea's very weird association with the underworld-linked Bhatts. I remember when her creepy pictures with Mahesh Bhatt went viral and she was trolled despite defending him, almost a few weeks later she started being seen with SSR, as if trying to give the whole narrative a spin and divert attention. Like 'look, I have a real bf, Mahesh Bhatt is just my mentor'. It was too sudden and so random, like out of the blue it started. And ofc, everyone knows who was the first person to come on live TV and start screaming about supposedly 'knowing of' Sushant's condition and how they 'saw it coming' (just like they were involved in Parveen Babi's last days and continue to mooch off her sorry state).
Then some female associate of their's said "Sushant was hearing things", "Poor Rhea tried everything but got so scared" "She couldn't do anything". This was all within hours of his death. So defensive for no reason unless someone's trying to cover up or hide guilt. I checked her Insta, her lockdown activity is so self-centred, she has so many videos and pictures of her taken by SSR's flatmate. As if all she was doing in his house was posing every other day and asking his friend to click her. She has tagged the friend in all pictures and random 'hairstyling' videos till 31st May. A person who is quarantining with a clinically depressed partner, would least indulge in such OTT behaviour. And there is no trace of Sushant anywhere, nor did he post anything on his account. Then suddenly, she decides to leave with all her baggage one day, first week of June, I guess and there are reports saying Sushant told his crew in advance about future non-payment. Also, weren't the initial reports which came out just hours after his demise (through a shady portal) and absolved Rhea tried to throw this person under the bus and paint him as the villian in the relationship, saying that Rhea had problems with him staying and sharing information and wanted to throw him out of the house. When her Instagram clearly says something else. And now Komal Nahata- who has been vociferously defending nepotism and industry mafias since day 1- is going about town saying, this woman will tell the world the truth and then no one will blame anyone from Bollywood anymore. It's not surprising considering she hasn't posted anything till now. The timing of his video is also so eerie, coming the same day she's been questioned. As if all this is planned in some way. I just wish the truth comes out and the good soul gets justice if there's any foul play or instigation or a bigger motive involved here in pushing such a noble person to the edge.
His is such a simple and rooted family with grounded middle-class parents and siblings who wouldn't want to indulge in much drama or any ugly mudslinging but I truly hope they go all out to seek a ruthless fair investigation into this. May God give them strength and strength.
