Sushant Singh Rajput slipped into depression after meeting Rhea Chakraborty and her family

A former staff member of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has said that Sushant had slipped into depression after meeting the actress and that Rhea hired new personnel after firing the old ones.  According to a report published in  Republic, Ankit  Acharya who was one of the loyal staff members of Sushant said,  he had joined Sushant as an assistant in 2017 and had worked with him all the way till 2019. The former staffer of the late actor revealed that he was asked to leave in June 2019, after he returned from a break during the shooting of Dil Bechara and said that Rhea Chakraborty had changed the household staff by hiring new people. 

Further, Ankit Acharya said that Sushant was a very happy soul until the last year and that his communication with his family was cut off following which he looked very depressed. Continuing further he said, "I left the job by August 2019. I was his assistant and used to accompany him all the time. He used to treat me as a small brother. We used to play games, I used to set up his telescope everyday, we used to go out on drives. After Rhea's arrival, Sushant started to become depressed. "Sushant was a very happy person. He never used to get angry. He used to talk very well-mannered to all the staff. Sushant sir purchased a farmhouse in Lonavala and he asked me to accompany him to stay there for some time. Farming was like a dream for him and he even told me he will take a break from films to do farming. Before the release of sonchiriya, Sushant gave the idea of farming. 

"By the time I came back from my break in August 2019, the staff denied entry into his residence. Ashok - the cook was there. He was the only old staffer and he was also removed. I called Sushant sir but I couldn't connect to him, might have been so because he changed SIM cards. Rhea never allowed anyone to talk to Sushant", he said."Rhea removed all the staff whom I was in contact with. I asked the staffers to take good care of Sushant. Sushant never closed the door while sleeping", Ankit Acharya added.  In another development,  with regards to the case, Bihar Chief Nitish Kumar has given his nod fir a CBI probe after his family formally requested the same.
