On June 14 at 9.35 am, a message was sent out to Bhatt by Rhea that read, “Goodmorning sir.

Conscious breathing is my anchor,” followed by “Love you child.” Rhea then wrote, “Love you sir, my angel.”
At about 2.35 pm on June 14, Bhatt asked Rhea to call him, and then there were two missed calls on Rhea’s phone from Bhatt.
Another WhatsApp forward was sent by Bhatt on June 15, Monday, a day after Sushant Singh Rajput died.
Yesterday (August 20) India Today had accessed chats between Rhea and Mahesh sent on June 8, the day she left Sushant’s residence. These messages revealed that, unlike Rhea’s statement that said Sushant had asked her to leave the house because his sister Meetu was coming over, she actually left his home by choice.

“Aisha moves on..sir..with a heavy heart and sense of relief. Our last call was a wake up call. You are my angel You were then And you are now…You ve again unclipped my wings, twice in one life is almost God like (sic),” Rhea wrote to Mahesh Bhatt on June 8 evening, after leaving Sushant’s home.
HERE ARE THE CHATS:
WhatsApp chats exchanged between Rhea and Mahesh on June 8.
“Dont look back. Make it possible what is inevitable. My love to your father . He will be a happy man…Thank u for being brave…Truly it takes guts to do what you did. Don’t look back (sic),” Mahesh Bhatt wrote to Rhea Chakraborty on June 8, as a response to Rhea saying she had moved out.
In a statement issued by Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde had said, “Sushant had been calling his family, informing them of his decision to move out of Mumbai and requesting them to come to meet him. After several days of Sushant calling and crying over the phone, his sister Meethu agreed to come live with him on 8th of June 2020. Due to this development, Sushant requested Rhea to live with her parents for the time being. Rhea had been suffering from her own anxiety issues and often endured panic attacks. Sushant’s conduct also aggravated these conditions. Even though Rhea was desirous of seeing her family, she was not at all comfortable with leaving Sushant. The very same day,8th June 2020, Rhea had arranged to have a therapy session of her own with Dr Susan Walker and requested Sushant if she could leave after the session. However, Sushant told her to leave immediately before his sister Meethu arrived. Thus Rhea reluctantly left and informed Sushant to let her or her brother know about anything he required or in case he needed to talk.”
These latest chats, however, contradict Rhea Chakraborty’s statement.
