Rhea Chakraborty's application for bail: 6 big revelations made by the actress in her plea
Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on September 9 in the drugs case related to Sushant Singh Rajput's death. While her judicial custody was extended to October 6, Rhea filed for bail in the Bombay High Court stating that she is innocent and that the NCB is deliberately trying to invoke stringent charges against her and her family. She also said that she has been subjected to a "witch-hunt". In her application for bail, filed by advocate Satish Manshinde, Rhea stated that in April 2019, after spending a day in Pawna with Sushant, she had returned to Mumbai for the screening of 'Kalank'. However the late actor had convinced her to come back to Pawna the next day and shortly thereafter the couple started dating. Sharing details about their relationship, Rhea made six big revelations about the same in her plea.
"Sushant wanted to document his daily life"
On many occasions, Siddharth Pithani had taken various videos of Sushant and the Applicant (Rhea Chakraborty) for their social media content.

"Sushant liked the concept of having an entourage as he was inspired by the American TV show Entourage"
Sushant resided at Capri Heights, Bandra in a duplex apartment with his friends Aayush Sharma, Siddharth Pithani, Sam, Himanshu as well as his sister Priyanka and her husband Siddharth. Sushant liked the concept of having an entourage as he was inspired by the American TV show 'Entourage' and liked living with his friends. Since Sushant was so distant from his own family, he liked living with his friends, who were like family to him. Sushant liked helping out his friends from small towns who wanted to make a name for themselves in Mumbai and who shared similar interests as well, such as astronomy, global welfare and Artificial Intelligence.

"Sushant felt that his sisters were after his money"
Sushant had been routinely contacting his family to inform them about his bouts of depression and other issues but Sushant's family members did not seem overly concerned regarding the same. Ultimately in the third week of November 2019, his three sisters came to Mumbai and informed him that they would be taking him to Chandigarh for further treatment. The Applicant (Rhea Chakraborty) did not interfere with their decision and was in fact relieved to see his family members finally take some interest in his well being and health. However on 26th November 2019, Sushant called the Applicant and informed that he would not be travelling to Chandigarh with his sisters as he doubted their motives and felt that they were merely after his money. That very same night, all three sisters left Sushant along at the peak of his depression.
