Chandigarh, August 27 

Actress Rhea Chakraborty has finally opened up about leaving her boyfriend and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput on June 8, six days before he was found hanging at his Bandra home. 

The actress also addressed the WhatsApp chat—which went viral—with Mahesh Bhatt.   

 In an interview with India Today, Rhea was questioned if she made the "final decision" to leave Sushant when she left on June 8. She was also asked about the messages she shared with the filmmaker on the same day. 

She said: “I was definitely very upset and hurt. Mujhe kaafi bura lag raha tha ki unhone mujhe call back nahi kiya, unhone mujhe wapas nahi bulaya (I felt very bad that he did not call me back or ask me to return). Is it over for him? Itna hi tha? Ki ab main bimaar hoon toh aap nahi chahte mujhe? Naturally, agar aapko koi bhi aisa bole, aapko bura toh feel hoga. Lekin yeh jo aap refer kar rahe hai, shayad iss conversation se iska koi lena dena hai nahi (Was it just this much? Now that I am unwell, does he not want me? Naturally, if anyone tells you this, you will feel very bad. But the message you are referring to perhaps had nothing to do with this situation).”

Rhea spent the entire lockdown with Sushant and left his house on June 8.

 According to her messages to Mahesh that were earlier accessed by India Today, she told him: “Aisha moves on..sir..with a heavy heart and sense of relief.” 

Aisha is the name of her character in the film Jalebi, which was produced by him. 

She added: “Our last call was a wake up call. You are my angel. You were then And you are now.” He replied: “Don’t look back. Make it possible what is inevitable. My love to your father . He will be a happy man.”

Sushant was found dead at his apartment on June 14. 

His family accused Rhea of abetment to suicide in an FIR filed in Patna on July 25. She was also accused of misappropriating funds and cutting him off from his family.
