Bollywood has been a cluster of tangled and unsolved mysteries since time immemorial. Take, for instance, the case of Parveen Babi or Divya Bharti back in the 80s and 90s, who had succumbed to their deaths and their cases were closed and had remained unsolved. Till today, their friends, family and fans haven't got the closure. On June 14, 2020, another star allegedly committed suicide and Bollywood has once again become a hurricane of theories, with each theory having a different direction and girth. Almost every day, people who were close to SSR or claimed to have been close to him are being interviewed, and different opinions are coming forward. Now, a former co-actor of SSR's girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty has come forward to speak about Rhea in details and how she thinks Rhea is hiding something.

Some days ago, Rhea Chakraborty had released a video of her claiming to be falsely framed and asking for support and justice for Sushant with folded hands. Puncch Beat actress, Kajol Tyagi had replied to a comment on Rhea's video and had said, "I was part of jalebi before it went for the reshoot and shot with her for a couple of weeks and I remember Rhea oozing negativity. Literally. I mean in this video also keeping hands folded so that body language experts have a harder time? Well it's evident she's faking grief #justiceforssr." Kajol Tyagi's comment over Rhea Chakraborty's video has set new sparks to the controversy.
In a conversation with SpotboyE, Kajol Tyagi opened up and spoke frankly about a lot of aspects revolving SSR's death and why she did what she did. On being asked what made her comment on Rhea's video, she said, "The video of Rhea which I saw on social media was very unreal. I am sure she must also be dealing with a lot of problems. But as a partner, she didn't seem real." Kajol also told SpotboyE how did she know SSR. She explained, "I didn't know Sushant, but my very close friends Krissann Barretto and Sanaya Pithawala were well connected to him. They used to hang out with him a lot while I was shooting for my web series Puncch Beat in Dehradun."
Kajol further talked about how Sushant had disconnected with his friends and said, "That time Sushant was staying with Siddharth Gupta who is Vikas Guppta's younger brother. And that's how I guess they all became friends. He was very welcoming towards friends of friends is what I have heard. But when I came back to the city, I realised that they all are not in touch." She further emphasised on Rhea's involvement and added, "When I tried to find out the reason I got to know he had disconnected with everyone and his phone number had also changed. When I asked Sanaya and Krissann what happened, and why they weren't hanging out with 'bade log' (Sushant), they said he is dating someone, and I guess she doesn't like us. So, yaa ever since Rhea entered, these people were not in touch with him."
Talking about her experience of shooting with Rhea Chakraborty for Jalebi, Kajol revealed, "I shot for more than a week, and during those days I saw Rhea around. That time the first three days we had conversations and then my hi's and hello's were ignored by her. When you work with her you can feel that hostile vibe. I remember coming back to my room and discussing her energy with my roommate." On the topic of people being harsh on Rhea, Kajol exquisitely stressed on how Rhea's video was more about seeking sympathy rather than giving empathy. She said, "I don't want to blame her for anything. But the video was really heartbreaking because after so many days you are coming out for the love for your life. And in that also you are asking for sympathy. Then discussing why he committed suicide. So I feel I judged her right that time."

Lastly, Kajol put her point forward on this whole facade and shared that she wishes truth prevails and that SSR's family gets closure. In her words, "I have no say if it's a suicide or murder, but at that same time, whatever theories have come out just don't add up anymore. Recent news reports say that Siddharth Pithani was the only one who saw him hanging. There are no pictures, nothing and since that day he wasn't replying is again weird. I just hope the truth comes out now, as by now what we are getting to hear is either Chinese whispers or people are trying to distract. If he has done suicide a valid reason should come out and if it's other way then culprits should be known. At least his family deserves all these answers."
