On Friday night, 11th September 2020, a Times Now exclusive report had claimed that Rhea Chakraborty had named Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet as drug users connected to Sushant Singh Rajput's case, which had put them on the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)'s radar. However, the NCB Deputy Director, KPS Malhotra,himself has told Free Press Journal, “We have not prepared any Bollywood list. The list earlier prepared was of peddlers and traffickers. It’s getting confused with Bollywood. The names have not been zeroed upon,” shutting down the earlier report there and then.

Earlier, Rhea Chakraborty had opened up to Aaj Tak in an interview on how Sushant Singh Rajput used to smoke marijuana before having met her, after picking up the habit while shooting for Kedarnath. “Yes, Sushant used to smoke marijuana, he used to take it even before he met me. He started this during Kedarnath. I used to control him in this department only. He was a man of his own choices and nobody could stop him,” she had said.
