Rhea Chakraborty reveals Sushant's mental health worsened after he saw an old painting in a Italy hotel

Sushant Singh Rajput went to Italy with girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in October last year. The trip left him shaken for the rest of his life.

Rhea's statement to the ED states that the painting by Spanish artist Francisco Goya terrorized the actor.

She said that she found him chanting some mantras using a Rudraksh and was visibly shaken. When he was asked about the same, he said that he could see characters in the paintings but was unable to describe them.

Rhea said that she tried to console him but his health continued to deteriorate. He started to remain silent which is why they had to cut short their trip. There were many changes in Sushant's behaviour after he returned.

He used to scream and shout and weep too. He even took medical help but was not satisfied with any doctor. This is the reason why they had to change the doctors.

Talking about the painting, it has a traditional interpretation behind it saying that the Greek myth of the Titan Cronus; Romanised as Saturn

Cronus feared that one of his children would overthrow him. This fear led to him eating each of his kid upon its birth.

It is one of the 14 Black Paintings that he drew. Goya painted these directly on to the walls of his house near Madrid, Spain.

Sushant Singh Rajput started showing signs of mental illness after seeing old painting in Italy's hotel.It is said that Goya's haunting work is a reflection of both the internal strife and what was going on in Spain at the time - the civil strife.
