"Consuming drug is like a status symbol in the industry. I have suffered from it. It was the worst phase of my life," the actress said.

An actress, who was once Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande's neighbour, has opened up about the prevalence of drug nexus in Bollywood. She said that the drug nexus in the film industry claimed Sushant's life. She had also once fallen in the hands of the drug peddlers, but fortunately, she came out of it.

"I was saddened to know about Sushant's case. It felt like my past came to the fore. Rhea Chakraborty was used as a honeytrap. This is a game. Rhea used Sushant," the actress said.

She added, "This is the same gang of which I was a victim once. Bollywood's second name is drugs. The drug racket is an interconnected chain."

The actress then recalled her time when she had joined the industry. "I was a newbie then. There was a powder on the table and I said, 'Oh my God, drug.' I was then asked if I am from Alibaug?. If you don't take drug, it is believed you are from a village. There is a dark truth to drugs within the industry," she said.
