Here is what has happened so far

  • In the latest updates, it was revealed that his relationship with his family may not have been as strained as it was being portrayed. According to the latest report the late actor had named his sister as a nominee in his investments in a private bank. A report by IANS says that a screenshot of chats shared between Sushant and his investment planner, whose name was withheld, shows that the actor had discussed making her sister Priyanka Singh a nominee.

  • SSR’s family lawyer Vikas Singh addressed a press conference and said that the actor's family was unaware of his mental illness. He slammed the campaign which has been started related to Sushant’s mental health. He said, “Our FIR has been in the public domain from the very beginning. It is not as if the channels do not know what the FIR says. Despite what has been said in the FIR, it has been carried that the family knew about his depression and his being bipolar. The FIR clearly said that after Rhea came into his life, Sushant started having mental problems and she was responsible for his anxiety.”

  • He also refuted the allegations that Sushant's family is after the actor's insurance money.
    "There are suggestions being given in the media that Sushant had a life insurance policy and the family will not get the money if it was declared that he died by suicide. And it is for this motive, it is being alleged that the suicide theory was later changed to abetment of suicide. I must inform all of you that Sushant had no life insurance policy," he said.

  • The lawyer also said that no film/serial/book on Sushant's life should be made or written without the approval of the 'Raabta' actor's father.
