'Would Anyone Who Loved Someone Deeply Give Him Drugs?' Ankita Lokhande to Rhea Chakraborty

The former girlfriend of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, actress Ankita Lokhande has lashed out at actress Rhea Chakraborty by saying would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition?## Ankita took to Instagram and posted a long note in a bid to reply to all the haters. In her post, the actress clarifies that she had never said that Sushant's death is a murder or anyone is responsible for it but she wants the truth to come out. ## "I have never said it's a murder or anyone in particular is responsible. I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies", she wrote on Instagram.## While showing the full faith in the Maharashtra government or Police & Central government instrumentalities, Ankita throws some serious questions at Rhea and her involvement in giving drugs to SSR. ## "Being a Maharashtrian and an Indian citizen, I have total faith in the Maharashtra State Govt/Police & Central Government instrumentalities".## "Let us assume you must have known in and out about your friend and whats going on in her life and relationship. Glad to see you wake up finally, but I wish you would have woken up sooner and advised your friend not to support any kind of drug abuse by SSR if any. When she very well knew about his mental state by publicly stating that he was in depression".## "His condition would deteriorate to a level that would make a man take the action that SSR has allegedly taken. She was the closest person to him at that time".## "On one hand, she says she was coordinating with all the doctors for his betterment of health on request of SSR, and on the other hand, she was coordinating drug logistics for him".## "Would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition?", she added.## Ankita further added by asking that when Rhea informed Sushant's family about his ongoing condition, why didn't she inform them about his drug consumption? It may be because she, herself enjoyed consuming it. ## View this post on Instagram I again clarify, for the reason time and again being asked by the media to me on whether I feel it's a murder or suicide? I have never said it's a murder or anyone in particular is responsible. I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies. Being a Maharashtrian and an Indian citizen, I have total faith in the Maharashtra State Govt/Police & Central Government instrumentalities. Though when some lingos like "Sautan" and "widow" were used for me, which is in public knowledge. I never responded to it. I only came forward to narrate about SSR and his mental health till 2016. Dear Haters! Let us assume you must have known in and out about your friend and whats going on in her life and relationship. Glad to see you wake up finally, but I wish you would have woken up sooner and advised your friend not to support any kind of drug abuse by SSR if any. When she very well knew about his mental state by publicly stating that he was in depression. Should she have allowed a depressed man to consume drugs? How is that going to help? His condition would deteriorate to a level that would make a man take the action that SSR has allegedly taken. She was the closest person to him at that time. On one hand, she says she was coordinating with all the doctors for his betterment of health on request of SSR, and on the other hand, she was coordinating drug logistics for him. Would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition? Would you do that? I don't think anyone would. So how can it not be seen as an act of carelessness and irresponsibility? As per her, she informed his family about his ongoing treatment but did she ever inform them about his drug consumption? I am sure she didn't because maybe she, herself, enjoyed consuming it. And this is why I feel it's Karma/Fate. Little advice for the unknown."You guard your friend and I am standing by the family". But let us maintain civility by not coming on to each other personally, either directly or indirectly. A post shared by Ankita Lokhande (@lokhandeankita) on Sep 9, 2020 at 9:14am PDT ## FYI, Rhea was arrested on Tuesday by the Narcotics Central Bureau (NCB) in a drug case as part of the probe into Sushant's death and is currently in 14-days of judicial custody till 22 September. ## Stay tuned...

Kangana Ranaut Gets IMPPA Support Against BMC Demolition Drive

The Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) has come out in support of the Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and has condemned the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for its demolition drive at the office building of the actress. ## In a statement issued to the media on Thursday (September 10), the IMPPA president TP Aggarwal said, "All these things are neither good for the government nor good for Kangana Ranaut. The action taken by the Maharashtra government or BMC is absolutely wrong and should be condemned".## "Although the court has stayed the demolition, BMC has already done what they had to do. At least they should have given time before demolition. You ask her what is wrong construction and if she had given the answer, they would have broken it if it was wrong. It never happens that you demolish a property on such short notice of one day", he added. ## However, Aggarwal was critical of certain comments Kangana made on Bollywood after the sad demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput even though she has been a respected actress and has the right to speak freely. Aggarwal also believes that both parties should resolve their issues as soon as possible. ## "I feel she shouldn't have said some things and one of them is on nepotism. I believe that nepotism is everywhere. There is not much of nepotism in the film industry. If nepotism had been prevalent in the society then Kangana would not have been such a big star. She said that the entire industry is involved in drugs. If so many people take drugs in this industry, then the drug mafia in Mumbai should have their share in the film industry".## "As far as I believe there will be 5-7 percent of people who take drugs and they are in every field. By calling the film industry a drug addict, you are stopping the funds coming into the industry", the statement further read.## "I think the two parties should resolve the matter soon. If Kangana's house is wrongly constructed demolish it. But, why only Kangana? There are unauthorized constructions throughout Mumbai. Break them as well. BMC should also abide by the law while doing anything", he added.## Stay tuned...
