Sushant and Rhea were often spotted together in and about Mumbai but had never acknowledged their relationship publically. It was on Sushant's one-month death anniversary on Tuesday that the actress finally spoke about him in a heart-wrenching post. She also changed her display picture (DP) of WhatsApp to a selfie with Sushant.
Since Sushant Singh Rajput's death, Rhea has been subjected to a lot of trolling and abuse on social media. Earlier today, she revealed about receiving rape and murder threats on Instagram and has also been told to "commit suicide" or else she would be "killed".
Rhea shared a screenshot of the message she received and added that she has been called a "gold-digger, a murderer" and also "slut-shamed" earlier.
Rhea was also interrogated by the Mumbai Police as part of the investigation after Sushant's death. Apart from Rhea, some of Sushant's family members, his friends, work associates and house helps were also called to record their statements.
