Sanjay Dutt’s illness shatters the Bhatts

Image
There is no denying the fact that the Bhatt family, especially Mahesh Bhatt and his eldest daughter Pooja are very close to Sanjay Dutt for years now. When the news of Dutt’s illness reached the Bhatts, they were deeply affected. “Bhatt Saab has been close to Sanjay Dutt for close to 30 years. They’ve done films like Sadak, Naam  and  Kubzaa together. Bhatt Saab was right there next to Dutt through his trial and incarceration for alleged terror activities. Bhatt Saab was shattered when he heard of Sanjay’s illness. The sad part is, because of the controversies currently around Bhatt Saab and his association with Rhea Chakraborty he is unable to hold Sanjay Dutt’s hands when he needs him the most,” says a source very close to the Bhatts. Pooja Bhatt was unable to express herself on her  Sadak  co-star’s illness. “What do you want me to ...

Sushant Singh Rajput never met Ankita Lokhande after their split

Image
It is a little strange to see Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex Ankita Lokhande, with whom he split in 2016 never to look back, get so deeply involved in his life after his death. The truth is, she was no part of his life after they split in 2016. Once they moved apart, they moved away irreversibly to other directions, never to meet again. Never to speak again. In fact I remember asking Sushant if he was in touch with Ankita since their split. His answer was a firm, “No not at all.” Now suddenly she is emphatically present in the thick of the tragedy. It is touching to see Ms Lokhande taking such a keen interest in getting justice for Sushant. But did she try even once to find out how he was when he had stopped meeting his old friends and withdrawn into a shell? If even a fraction all the concern that is pouring in from every conceivable place had been spared during Sushant’s lifetime, perhaps he would have been with us today. It is easy...

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister’s WhatsApp chats with ex-manager Shruti Modi suggest that they were aware about his medical condition

Image
New facts are being revealed almost every day with regards to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. On one hand, Sushant’s family refused to have any knowledge regarding his medical condition and said that they were not informed by Rhea Chakraborty about his health. However, a recently discovered WhatsApp chat between the late actor’s ex-manager, Shruti Modi, and his sister Nitu Singh suggests otherwise. Nitu Singh, whom he lovingly addressed as Rani Di is seen asking Shruti about the prescriptions and a doctor that can come home. The chat reads that Shruti had sent across a medical prescription that had medicines like, Serta, Clonotril, Oleanz, and Qutipin. Along with the medicines’ names, Shruti had also sent across the contact of a certain Dr. Susan Walker Psychotherapy. These chats refute the claim of Sushant’s family being unaware of his mental health. As of now, the CBI is investigating the case while the Narcotics department is looking through the drug angle in the case and the ...

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family needs to give a lot of answers

Image
Nobody is saying this aloud for the fear of being trolled savagely. But the truth is, a substantial number of people in the film industry are wondering how Sushant Singh Rajput’s family was not aware of his mental condition. The family has repeatedly accused Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of administering the wrong medicines to him when in fact Sushant’s family was not only aware of his psychological struggles, they were also aware of the medicines that were being given to Sushant for his mental condition. A Whatsapp chat between Sushant’s sister and Sushant’s manager reveals that a prescription of the medicines for Sushant for various serious mental illnesses was sent to the sister. If this is an authentic conversation, why is the family repeatedly saying that they had no knowledge of Sushant’s mental conflicts and that all his problems, psychological and financial surfaced only after Rhea came into Sushant’s life? Why is the family so wary of taking responsibility for thei...

After Kareena and Saif Ali Khan, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli it is TV stars Teejay Sidhu and Karanvir Vohra who have announced the impending arrival of a lockdown baby. Karanvir shyly admits that the lockdown was responsible for his wife’s pregnancy. “I think the lockdown was the biggest reason for the baby. There was nothing else to do except being with the family and working out. There was time together at home. It just happened.” Karanvir knows it will be hard handling three children. “It’s going to be very stormy life hereon. But we are very excited. People are telling us we should be looking forward to a boy after two girls. But my wife and I are way too spiritual to look at a new life in our home through the gender lens.
