Bollywood Drugs Case: Deepika Padukone has acknowledged her 'WhatsApp Drug Chats' with manager Karishma Prakash during the NCB interrogation.

New Delhi: The Narcotics Control Bureau grilled Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone in connection with the probe in alleged Bollywood drugs nexus on Saturday (September 26). The ‘Padmaavat’ actress, who was summoned by the agency on Wednesday, arrived at the NCB guest house before 10am. The ‘Piku’ star denied consuming any drug during the NCB interrogation; however, she acknowledged her WhatsApp chats with her manager Karishma Prakash, which came to the fore during the investigation. In the chats, DP allegedly asked for ‘hash’ and ‘maal’ from her manager. According to NCB sources, Deepika accepted her WhatsApp drug chats after she was confronted with Karishma. When asked about the WhatsApp group, the ‘Chhaapaak’ actress said they were discussing about cigarettes and not drugs in the chats. She also admitted that she is the admin of the group. Deepika left the NCB guest house after five-and-a-half hours of interrogation. The 'Tamasha' actress was escorted by security guards while leaving the guest house. Both DP and Karishma were allowed to go home at around 3.40pm after completing the formalities. Some reports suggested that Ranveer Singh requested NCB to allow him to remain present during Deepika's questioning. The agency squashed all the rumours and denied receiving any request from the 'Gully Boy' actor. The 'Bajirao Mastani' actress reportedly met her lawyers on Friday night before the NCB probe. She arrived from Goa to Mumbai on Thursday (September 24) in a charter plane. She was accompanied by Ranveer, who reportedly flew from Bengaluru to Goa.
