Saand Ki Aankh producer denies signing Rhea Chakraborty for a new film

Post the tragic demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, actress Rhea Chakraborty found herself in the eye of the storm. The late, actor's family had accused Rhea of abetment to suicide and money laundering.  Amid this, the Jalebi actress made the headlines once again of late when she shared a picture with Saand Ki Aankh producer Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani on social media following which there have been speculations about their collaboration. However, Nidhi has rubbished the reports working on a project with Rhea and said that they are just friends and that they have no project in the pipeline. 

“Rhea is a very close friend of mine. We have been friends for years and the picture that was shared on Instagram was clicked as we hung out as friends together. There’s nothing more behind it. There’s no project in the pipeline, Nidhi was quoted saying to Bombay Times. To note, Rhea and Nidhi have been friends for a couple of years now and had met on the sets of Half Girlfriend and developed a strong bond.“We got along really well and became too close too soon. She has been like a little sister to me since then. I will always stand by her through thick and thin because she has stood by me through my thick and thin. I know she is having a tough time, but she will bounce back as she has the support of very good friends and family,” Nidhi added.
Rhea Chakraborty who is being investigated by multiple central agencies after Sushant Singh Rajput's family accused her of having a role in the actor's death filed a complaint against Rajput’s sisters Priyanka and Mitu Singh. The sisters were accused of forgery and violation of the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act based on the complaint by Chakraborty.

Rhea had filed a complaint based on Whatsapp texts exchanged between Sushant and Priyanka Singh on June 8, six days before his demise. According to the chat, Priyanka had advised her brother to take three medicines- Librium, Mexito and Lonazep. These are prescribed for depression and anxiety but not bought over the counter and require prescription. On February 15, the Bombay High Court said that the investigation against Priyanka Singh would continue while cancelling the case against Mitu Singh. On Friday, Priyanka's lawyer argued in the SC that there was no evidence of Sushant consuming the said medicine. She also said in her petition that the doctor she consulted was qualified to prescribe the drugs and through teleconsultation. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead on June 14, 2020, under mysterious circumstances.
