Actress Rhea Chakraborty had stated in a recent interview that her late boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput felt claustrophobic on flights and had to take medication for it. Her statement was denied by several parties, including her ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande. Now, however, a video of the actor herself has surfaced online, confessing to being claustrophobic and insomniac.
In a video interview with Zee Cafe in 2015, Sushant was asked to play the game of two truths and one lie. Sushant told three facts about him, one of which was a lie: 1. That he is claustrophobic, 2. He sleeps six hours every day, and 3. That he was a terrible singer. He then revealed that the second fact was a lie. He said he had insomnia and could only sleep two hours every day.
Ankita had responded to Rhea’s statement by posting a video of Sushant on a flight simulator. “Dream. Is this #claustrophobia? You always wanted to fly and you did,” she had written in her caption. Ankita and Sushant were together for almost seven years and split in 2016, a year after the interview aired.
In her interview with India Today, Rhea had shared: “Europe ke trip jaane wale din Sushant ne mujhe ball ki usko flight mein baithne se bohot claustrophobia hai aur uske liye woh ek dawai leta hai jiska naam hai Modafinil. Uske paas woh dawai humesha rehti thi aur flight pe jaane se pehle usne woh dawai khud hi le li (The day we were leaving for our Europe trip, Sushant told me that he feels very claustrophobic on flights and takes a medicine for it called Modafinil, that drug he always carried with him and before getting on the flight he took it himself). He didn’t even have to get a prescription because unke paas ya woh dawai thi (he already had that medicine with him). “

Sushant died on June 14. Her father filed a complaint against Rhea, her family members, and some others, for instigating suicide. Members of her family have accused her of using it to promote her Bollywood career and of embezzling their funds. She has denied the allegations.
His death is being investigated by the CBI, the Directorate of Enforcement and the Office of Narcotics Control.
