Did Sushant suffer from claustrophobia? Hear it from the horse's mouth

An old video of Sushant Singh Rajput has surfaced the internet that had him hinting upon being claustrophobic. However, days back his former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande denied that the late actor had never suffered from claustrophobia.

Mumbai: A video interview from 2015 showing late actor Sushant Singh Rajput responding to a question on claustrophobia has surfaced on the internet.

The video has taken over the internet after actor Rhea Chakraborty claimed that Sushant felt claustrophobic in flights and had to take medication for it. Her statement was denied by several people, including Sushant's former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande.

In an episode of the second season of Zee Cafe's talk show Look Who's Talking With Niranjan Iyengar, Sushant said that he is "claustrophobic." The episode aired in November 2015.

Sushant's confession came in a section of the show where he played the game of two truths and a lie. Sushant said three facts about him, one of which was a lie. The actor mentioned claustrophobia, sleeping for six hours a day and being a terrible singer. He then revealed that the second fact was a lie.

"The lie is that I sleep for six hours a day. I have insomnia so I can't sleep for more than two hours a day," he said.

On August 27, Ankita rubbished the claim of Rhea that the late actor had claustrophobia, by sharing a throwback video on Twitter where the actor can be seen flying his expensive Boeing 737 Fixed Base Flight Simulator, which he had purchased in 2018.

Sharing the video, Ankita captioned: "Is this #claustrophobia? You always wanted to fly and you did it and we all are proud of you."

Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14. His case is currently being investigated by the CBI, NCB and the ED.
