Meanwhile, as the NCB interrogated Sara, she revealed that she and Sushant were in a relationship during the filming of 'Kedarnath' in February 2018. She also told the NCB officials that she would often visit Sushant's 'Capri Heights' residence in Mumbai and added that she accompanied him on his trip to Thailand. 

Sara also disclosed that she had been to Sushant's Lonavala farmhouse several times. However, she categorically denied taking drugs, but admitted to smoking cigarettes sometimes. The actress added that Sushant did consume drugs.
