Brother Alleges Industry Pressure and Sushant Singh Rajput Connection
Meanwhile, Sanchita's brother, Avinash, has made some shocking claims regarding her death. He pointed out that Sanchita’s last Instagram post was dedicated to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who had tragically passed away on June 14, 2020. Avinash noted that Sanchita chose the exact same date—June 14—to end her life while she was alone at home in the evening.
Avinash alleged that Sanchita took this extreme step due to constant pressure in the entertainment industry, lack of work opportunities, and continuous humiliation by seniors. He expressed his deep anger, labeling the Bollywood and TV industries as "extremely toxic and filthy."
The police are currently trying to ascertain the exact reasons behind the suicide and have stated that the true cause will only be revealed after a thorough investigation.
