Sushant Singh Rajput's brother-in-law Vishal Kirti, in his blog, wrote that he was not in touch with Sushant "on a one-on-one basis" after Rhea Chakraborty came into the late actor's life. He further wrote, "Chronologically, we were friends from 1997-2007 and family members 2007 onwards." "Since 2007...we called and texted each other regularly, and met occasionally, until 2019," Vishal added.
