Rumy Jafry reveals Rhea Chakraborty would ask him to come over and cheer up Sushant Singh Rajput

Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty were supposed to star in filmmaker Rumy Jafry’s romantic comedy. Owing to the lockdown, the film was pushed. Rumy recently opened up on how Rhea had informed him about Sushant’s depression. The filmmaker even said that Rhea would occasionally call him to meet Sushant and cheer him up.

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Rumy said, “Rhea had told me about Sushant being depressed and in fact, Sushant also told me that some 5-6 months back. I had asked him many-a-times about it but he didn’t disclose too much and I didn’t push much because I thought he might not be comfortable. In fact, Rhea would call me at their place sometimes and say that sir, aap aa jao, aapke saath baithta hai toh positive energy milti hai, khush hota hai or he would come to our place. I knew he was taking treatment for this and was on medication.”

Clarifying his previous statement regarding Sushant wanted to quit acting, the filmmaker told the portal, “He never said he wanted to quit acting, and then do farming but one of his dreams was to farm alongside action and cut. He liked to stay alone, loved science, plantations, he was so intelligent. We used to talk farming because I share a mutual interest. In fact, I have a small garden at my place in Bombay where Sushant would visit whenever he would come home.”

Rumy even said that he tried to reach Rhea but her mother informed him that she is too devastated to speak to anyone.

The filmmaker also shared that its hurtful to hear people say that Sushant was out of work. He said that though Sushant was selective about his projects he was not out of work. In fact, he had 3-4 films in his hand. “He had delivered top-notch performances in many films and had like 3-4 films in his hands. How can people say he had no work?” Rumy questioned.

34-year-old Sushant died by suicide on June 14 at his Bandra residence. As no suicide note was found at his home, the police is investigating the case to find out the reason that drove the actor to take such a drastic step.
