Sanchita Ugale's brother draws connection with Sushant Singh Rajput's death
Hours after Ugale's death, her brother, Akash Satish Ugale claimed that she was subjected to immense pressure from the industry. Saying that her death may be linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who also died by suicide.
Speaking exclusively to IANS, Akash said, "He committed suicide on 14th June 2020. Why? Because Bollywood, this industry, put a lot of pressure on him, and because of that pressure, he committed suicide. In the same way, yesterday my sister also committed suicide for the same reason, that's what I'm saying."
