Theory 1:
Sushant has been suffering from mental health problems for the last one year. He did not want his family or the rest of the world to know about it. So he only confided it with a couple of friends like Sidharth Pithani and Rhea Chakraborty. Rhea and Sushant knew each other for years and were friends when they were dating other people. But they really came close during the last one year when Sushant was feeling vulnerable owing to his ill health. They started living together. She provided support to him and took care of him during this trying time.
Unfortunately, lockdown was announced, which is a difficult time for anyone, all the more for mental health patients. Rhea still stood by him and stayed with him for almost three months. However, she had a fight with him on June 8th and decided to live in her own house for sometime. She told his flatmate Sidharth that he can reach her anytime he needs her. Meanwhile, Sushant's sister arrived the next day to be with him. Between the gap, Disha, his former manager died by suicide. Media started connecting his name to her when she also worked with other celebrities like Aishwarya, Varun Sharma. This took a toll over his mental health. He was inconsolable. His sister was there for three days but left soon after that to take care of her family.
His deteriorating mental health, the lockdown, his pillar of strength Rhea not being by his side. Him being all alone. The trigger of suicide of his former manager. On that fateful Sunday, he woke up, had some juice and went back to his room, thought the suffering was not worth it, so he hung himself.
Theory 2:
Sushant has been suffering from mental health problems for the last one year. He did not want his family or the rest of the world to know about it. So he only confided it with a couple of friends like Sidharth Pithani and Rhea Chakraborty. Rhea and Sushant knew each other for years and were friends when they were dating other people. But they really came close during the last one year when Sushant was feeling vulnerable owing to his ill health.
Rhea, who has been on the sidelines for the last 9 years of her career, saw an opportunity in being linked to a star like Sushant who was already established. She started living with him, but soon realized that his health is actually really bad. Instead of dumping him, she thought she will put up with him for some time, use his name for publicity, get some film offers through him, do a film with him, etc.
The plan was going fine, till the lockdown was announced. Everyone thought it was for a few weeks, so she continued to live with him. But when the lockdown kept getting extended, and it became more or less clear that shoots will not begin this year, she realized she's had it. She was tired of nursing him, so she told him she needed a break from him and left his house. Sushant, who was already very weak and vulnerable, broke down. He couldn't handle his third break-up in four years. And the very next day, news of his former manager's death comes. His sister visits him and consoles him but leaves soon after.
His mental health issues, the break-up, the lockdown, and finally Disha's death acting as a trigger, he decided that taking the extreme step felt easier than handling so much pain. So he hung himself.
