Sushant Singh Rajput's Demise: Rumi Jaffery Opens Up About The Late Actor's Depression, Says He Got Admitted Several Times

Sushant Singh Rajput's sudden demise had caused an uproar amongst his fans. He was found dead in his apartment on 14th June. While the post-mortem report suggested that he died due to hanging, many people are suspecting foul play and demanding a CBI probe. The Bandra Police are investigating every angle of his death. Recently, they called Rumi Jaffery for questioning. Now, in a recent interview, he has revealed that he was aware of Sushant's mental health.

Rumi Jaffery was to make a film with Sushant and Rhea Chakraborty and he had been in touch with the two for a long time. In an interview, he has said that Sushant told him about his depression in November last year. He added, "Rhea Chakraborty had called to say Sushant was in a depression. I didn’t even know what it meant. But in November, I visited Sushant . He met me with the same warmth as he always did. He hugged me. He then told me that he was fighting off depression and that he didn’t know what to do about it. I was taken aback. ‘Arrey Sushant , tu toh star hai. Depression kyun?’ I just couldn’t understand what he could be depressed about.”

He also said that he kept a close watch on him. "Ek toh who mujhse umar mein bahut chhota tha. Doosri baat , he was a star. We all know when to stop before crossing the line with them. But I kept a close watch on Sushant’s health after he confided in me. He got admitted in Hinduja Hospital several times for depression. But the media was told he went in for various ailments like dengue, etc. But the fact is Sushant was being medically treated for clinical depression.”

Rumi had earlier spoken up about Sushant too. He had revealed about the film and opened up on how Rhea had cared for him through the difficult times.
