Sandip Ssingh Talks About The Viral Dubai Photo, Opens Up On Whether He Knew Disha Salian

Sandip Ssingh has come out as one of the closest friends of Sushant Singh Rajput after his death. The filmmaker has said he knew Sushant since 2011 and had been close to both him and Ankita Lokhande when they were together. He also said that they did not meet up as regularly in the past couple of years, but dropped a message now and then. But when the late actor's family said that they were not aware of Sandip, fingers were being pointed at him. In fact, questions have been raised on his involvement in Sushant's death. Someone even claimed that he has a 'Dubai connection' and that he knew Dawood. His name was also being linked to Disha Salian's death. Now, Sandip opened up about these allegations.

Talking to BT, he revealed what a big misconception the entire 'Dubai connection' was. The accusations were made by Surjeeet Singh Rathode after he announced a film on Sushant. Sandip said, "He needs to be clear about who he is first. He got publicity, he announced a film on Sushant and now where has he gone? When we were to take Sushant’s body for cremation, the police saw him and asked me who he was. I said I didn’t know him. Sushant’s jijaji OP Singh’s team was already there to help with things. The next thing I know, he is on TV and making accusations. He made the most of the publicity he got. His comments are being taken seriously even without someone checking on his credentials. And Dubai connection! There was a pic of me with Ranveer and Deepika and another man, who they had identified as Dawood! It turned out to be a production designer who has credible work to his name. He had to step forward and identify himself.

He also opened up about Disha Salian and said that he had only met her once. He revealed, "My last chat with her happened in 2017. She had come to my office - as a cornerstone employee - to discuss a project for an actor she was representing. The meeting was coordinated by my office staff. Then, I heard she has died by suicide on June 9. That is all."

Sushant's death is currently being investigated by the CBI.
