Sushant’s therapist, Susan Walker, had revealed in an earlier interview with Barkha Dutt that Sushant was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The friends revealed that the need for a change of staff was because of the urgent need for privacy since Sushant was diagnosed with a mental illness and they did not want any unnecessary press.

One of Rhea’s friend said, “I’d just get a message that she needs to be with Sushant, that he’s unwell.” Chakraborty had told her friends that taking care of Sushant was taking a toll on her and hence she could not meet them.

Further, Rhea’s friend revealed that Rhea opted out of two films in 2019 to spend as much time with Sushant.

Walker had said in her interview, “When Sushant was severely ill, he depended on Rhea as somewhat of a mother figure. Rhea gave Sushant courage to attend the sessions, Rhea took care of Sushant’s appointments and gave him enough courage to attend. From the first time I met the couple in November, I was impressed by the degree of concern, love and support she showed.”

Currently, the CBI is investigating the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case after the Supreme Court passed their verdict. So far the CBI has visited Sushant’s residence and investigated the late actor’s autopsy report.
