Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14. The actor was said to be suffering from depression which apparently led him to take this drastic decision. But, Sushant’s family does not believe such reports which state Sushant had mental health issues. The late actor’s family has clearly refuted the depression narrative. Rhea Chakraborty, in one of her recent interviews, had claimed that Sushant was claustrophobic. However soon Sushant’s family and ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande and slammed such claims.
Now, a video of Sushant confessing that he suffered from claustrophobia and insomnia has been doing the rounds of the internet.
In an interview with Niranjan Iyengar on Zee Cafe, Sushant had confessed that he is claustrophobic. During a segment, Niranjan had asked the actor to tell two truths and one lie about himself, to which Sushant replied saying, “I am claustrophobic, I sleep six to seven hours a day, I am a terrible singer.”
Later he cleared out saying that the lie was that he sleeps 6-7 hours a day. He said he cannot sleep for more than two hours a day because he has insomnia.
Sushant himself once revealed that he suffered from claustrophobia affirming what Rhea Chakraborty said that he had the problem and hence in the aeroplane (because of closed space) he used to take the medicine Modafinil. @Tweet2Rhea #SushanthSinghRajput #RheaChakrobarty pic.twitter.com/wZZ3yAObzC

Earlier in an interview with India Today, Rhea Chakraborty had confessed that she only got to know about Sushant’s mental health issues during their Europe trip.“Europe ke trip jaane wale din Sushant ne mujhe bola, ki usse flight mein baithne se claustrophobic lagta hai. Iske liye woh ek dawai leta hai. Modafinil. Uske paas woh dawai hamesha rehti thi, probably, and he did not have to get it with the help of a prescription. Flight mein jaane se pehle, usne dawai khud le liya. Wahan pohochke, Paris land huwe. Wahan teen din, Sushant room se nahi nikla,” she said.
She further added, “He said that 2013 mein unke saath ek depressive episode hua tha. He met a psychiatrist, jinka naam shayad Haresh Shetty tha. He said unhone yeh dawai unko prescribe ki thi. I started suspecting ki kya huwa. Are you unwell? That’s when he confessed to me that he met the psychiatrist in 2013 . He was okay after that. At times, he had anxiety attacks. But now he was feeling more anxious and depressed. So, we had to cut short the trip.”
