The new “twist” in the Sushant Singh Rajput death mystery—every day there is a new angle to the plot—is the narcotics number. That there is evidence that Rhea and Sushant were supplied with illegal drugs.

While this angle is nothing new in the film industry and it is common knowledge that actors are prone to substance abuse, why is the blame for the couple’s alleged drug habits being placed on Rhea alone? It is hard to imagine she was forcing the drugs on him.

A source which knew the couple well says, “It takes two to tango. The drug angle may come as a shock to outsiders. But it is common knowledge in the industry.Why is Rhea being seen as the evil drug supplier who forced Sushant to indulge in narcotics? Doesn’t she have enough guilt riding on her head? Should she be held for all of Sushnat’s problems? Was he not an adult? And if he were alive, wouldn’t he be expected to take responsibility for his actions rather than pin them on the person closest to him?’
