Rhea
Chakraborty
has
responded
to
the
allegation
that
she
took
control
over
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
life
by
changing
his
staff.
Rhea
and
others
have
been
accused
of
abetment
to
suicide
in
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case,
which
is
now
being
investigated
by
the
CBI.
During
an
interview
with
India
Today,
Rhea
was
asked
about
the
allegation
that
she
took
over
Sushant's
life,
changed
his
staff,
gained
control
of
his
affairs
and
cut
him
off
from
his
family.
Rhea
dismissed
this
saying
that
it
is
a
'completely
baseless
allegation'.
Talking
about
Siddharth
Pithani,
Rhea
said,
"Sushant
knew
Siddharth
even
before
I
did.
When
I
moved
into
Sushant's
house,
Siddharth
was
already
living
with
him."
"Second.
(Samuel)
Miranda,
who
was
Sushant's
house
manager,
was
hired
by
the
latter's
sister
Priyanka.
And
even
Miranda
knew
him
from
before," she
said.
Miranda
has
been
referred
to
as
Rhea's
'close
associate
and
former
house
manager
of
Sushant's'.
He
was
also
one
of
the
accused
in
the
FIR
filed
by
Sushant's
family.
She
continued,
"Keshav,
Neeraj
and
Dipesh
were
with
him
since
before
me.
In
fact,
he
introduced
me
to
them.
I
did
not
hire
them."
When
asked
about
Sandip
Ssingh,
who
has
claimed
to
have
been
a
close
friend
of
Sushant's,
Rhea
said,
"I
don't
know
Sandip
Ssingh.
He
has
never
come
home.
He
never
called.
If
he
is
such
a
good
friend,
where
was
he
in
the
last
one-and-a-half
years?
I
can
guarantee
that
you
will
see
no
signs
of
his
name
in
Sushant's
call
logs." Sandip
was
reportedly
one
of
the
first
people
to
visit
Sushant's
home
after
his
death.
