Kangana in her tweets has now taken a sarcastic jibe at Deepika using the latter's catchwords in her anti-depression campaigns. Kangana's jibe at Deepika comes after the news channel Times Now revealed a WhatsApp chat, which the channel claims allegedly took place between Deepika and her manager Karishma Prakash, who is reportedly an employee with Kwan Talent Management Agency.
Widening its probe into the drugs angle in SSR case, the NCB will summon actors Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor for questioning. A top NCB source related to the probe told IANS: "This week, we will be sending summons to Sara, Shraddha and several others for questioning."
The NCB has arrested Sushant's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant's personal staff Dipesh Sawant and several others in the case for allegedly procuring and transporting drugs.
It had registered a case on a request from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after it found several WhatsApp chats between several people ostensibly for procuring drugs.
