'My 'aukat' is that Sushant Singh Rajput loved me', says Rhea Chakraborty to Bihar DGP Pandey

Chandigarh, August 28

Rhea Chakraborty has finally reacted to Bihar Police Chief's controversial remark. The 28-year-old actress lashed out at those making allegations against her without any evidence.  

On August 19, after the Supreme Court allowed the CBI to take control of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, Bihar Police Chief Gupteshwar Pandey, while speaking to the media, said: "Rhea Chakraborty ki koi aukat nahi ki woh Bihar ke Chief Minister se sawaal karein." 

In an interview with NDTV and India Today, Rhea without naming the police officer clarified that as someone who loved Sushant, she can question anyone, even Bihar CM. 

"Just because I was his girlfriend and less successful, makes me a gold-digger? 'Bengali girls do black magic', 'uski aukat kya hain (what's her stature)', always the girlfriend and bahus (daughters-in-law) are blamed. I thought we have moved past this. Me being a Bengali is a cherry on the cake - that all Bengali women do black magic," said Chakraborty. 

"My aukat is that Sushant Singh Rajput, who everyone claims to love, loved me," Rhea told NDTV in a live interview.

Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14. More than a month later, his father KK Singh filed a case in Bihar, accusing Chakraborty and her family of cheating him financially and mentally harassing him, driving him to suicide.

"I don't seem to understand why I am at the centre of this case. Maybe because of the witch hunt mentality, because the family has made these allegations. Never thought the world could be so sick. Never knew people cannot see through the false stuff. Made my life a soap opera and everyone is judge and jury," said Chakraborty.
