New Delhi: After the ‘drug angle’ emerged during the ongoing investigation of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, people have been calling out names from the industry. Especially after reports came out about Rhea Chakraborty naming Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and others consuming drugs with her during her interrogation by the NCB, many people from inside the industry also started slamming the industry.

She further went on to question if anyone is interested in the rehabilitation of the individuals who are too broken to chase their dreams but even amid these situations, manage to chase intoxicants in much poverty. Her tweet read, “Does anyone care about people who live on the ultimate fringe of society,who use drugs to make the pain of living go away? The ones who are too battered & broken to chase dreams but chase substances amidst much poverty & squalor? Anyone interested in their rehabilitation?”
