In an interview to IANS, earlier this year, Rhea said she prefers no intrusion into her private life, and that is the reason she never reacts to the rumours of her relationship with Sushant. Asked if all the recent headlines about their reported affair takes away her focus from work, Rhea had told IANS, “Sushant is a dear friend. I have known him for many years! No more comments on this.”
Meanwhile, Sushant’s family has also arrived from Bihar for his funeral. His last rites will take place today at Pawan Hans crematorium in suburban Vile Parle, the actor’s spokesperson said.
Sushant, who initially began his career with TV shows including Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil and Pavitra Rishta and then got his breakthrough in Bollywood with the movie Kai Po Che, passed away just a few days after the shocking death of his former manager Disha Salian, who had jumped off a building.
