Sources told the publication that the cops are looking into the professional rivalry angle, and the contract might help with the investigation.

“Rhea would take Sushant to the psychiatrist. He stopped taking medicines a couple of months back because he thought he was getting better. Rhea’s statement is very important to determine the reason behind Sushant’s depression. We are in the process of verifying some information about the case but till now we haven’t found anything related to tension in his professional world”, the officer told mid-day.

Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself. To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~ E.E.
