charges. Kangana further raises a question on Rhea as to what is the need to hire such a big law- yer if the latter is innocent.
Kangana also took a dig at Bollywood actors like Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, and others for not raising a voice in Sushant Singh Rajput’s case.
Actor Gulshan Devaiah feels everyone should just let the CBI get on with the investigation into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in peace, instead of adding to the clamour around it. “I think ‘everyone’ should shut up and let the Central Bu- reau of Investigation do its job. Any kind of jibes or smarta**y remarks towards each other is unnecessary,” Gulshan tweeted.
“As actors, somewhere deep down inside, we think we know why he did it and that’s why it (is) so disturbing, even if you didn’t know him at all. It’s a hard game to play and he played it very well but the game won in the end,” he had tweeted after the news of his demise,” he continued. “In case you didn’t know, Bolly- wood has no shortage of aggres- sive alphas and peacocks. No, it’s not gender specific
Successful people often fic- tionalise their success (like say- ing hard work, blessings etc). The ones who have failed will bare themselves to you and there is much to lean from that,” added the actor, who has appeared in films like ‘Shaitan’, ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela’, ‘Hunt- errr’,‘ADeathInTheGunj’and ‘Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota’.
Sushant was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai on June 14.
Sushant is best known for his titular role in Neeraj Pandey’s 2016 release, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, the biopic of for- mer Indian cricket captain Ma- hendra Singh Dhoni.
he Supreme Court on NT
CBI probe into the mys- terious death by suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput to “ensure that search for truth is under- taken by an independent inves- tigation agency” not controlled by either Bihar or Maharashtra.
Justice Hrishikesh Roy in- voked the SC’s inherent power under Article 142 of the Con- stitution to do complete justice in the case that has seen a bit- ter tug-of-war between police forces of the two states and said, “Dissemination of the real facts through unbiased investigation would certainly result in justice for the innocents, who might be the target of vilification cam- paign. Equally importantly, when integrity and credibility of the investigation is discernible, the trust, faith and confidence of the common man in the judi- cial process will resonate. When truth meets sunshine, justice will not prevail on the living alone but after life’s fitful fever, now the departed will also sleep well. Satyameva Jayate.”
With the CBI registering a case on the basis of Rajput’s fa- ther’s complaint, Chakraborty too will be under the scanner as Singh had accused her and her family of cultivating prox- imity to Rajput for the purpose of misappropriating his wealth. Chakraborty, Rajput’s live-in partner, has vehemently denied the charge.
As Supreme Court upheld the Central Bureau of Inves- tigation (CBI) probe into the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, actor Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer said that “the truth will remain same” no matter which agency investigates the case.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court allowed the CBI to con- tinue with its probe into the case filed against Rhea Chakraborty and her family for allegedly abet- ting the suicide of Sushant Singh.
Followingthis,Chakraborty’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, said in a statement that the actress will appear before CBI and face the investigation as she herself had demanded a probe by the federal agency. “Since the court has transferred the investigation to CBI invoking its powers un- der Article 142 of the Consti- tution of India, she will appear and face the investigation by the CBI as she has done earlier with the Mumbai Police and the En- forcement Directorate. Rhea maintains that the truth will re-
main the same whichever agen- cy investigates the case,” Mane- shinde said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut who has been at the forefront in seeking justice for the late actor has spoken up on Rhea Chakraborty. In an conversation, the actress has questioned Rhea’s need to hire a criminal lawyer if she has not done anything.
Kangana began by revealing that she herself has faced crim- inal charges. However, the ac- tress adds that she would have to wait for almost a week to get an appointment from Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer. She fur- ther questions how the latter got him within a day while mention- ing the amount of money that he
