Bollywood actress quizzed after movie star’s abrupt death
Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty has been arrested for allegedly buying drugs for her former boyfriend, the actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The actress has been remanded to judicial custody until Sept. 22.
The abrupt death of Rajput has spurred a debate about the stigma of mental health.
Born in the eastern state of Bihar, Rajput quit engineering studies to pursue a career in acting and dance.
He got his big break in 2013 with “Kai Po Che,” a film about cricket, love, and politics that won acclaim at the Berlin film festival.
He was also lauded for his portrayal of Indian cricket hero Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a hit 2016 biopic.
Mumbai police initially reported Rajput’s death as accidental and local media called it a suicide.
