Veteran actress and spiritual healer Smita Jaykar has shared a personal account of meeting Sushant Singh Rajput in hospital, speaking on Siddharth Kannan’s show. Her account centres on a call for help from Rhea Chakraborty and a visit that she says ended with a plan that never came to pass.
Jaykar had worked with Rhea in “Sonali Cable,” and the two had earlier discussed spiritual healing. Remembering that conversation, Rhea asked Jaykar to help Sushant. Jaykar said she went to meet him at Hinduja Hospital, where he was being treated for depression, to offer a healing session. itdcindia
What She Says Happened
According to Jaykar, Sushant spoke to her very nicely and seemed happy. She believes he may have been under the influence of medication at the time. She said she hugged him warmly and suggested he come to her ashram for healing, and that he was willing. She says that night Rhea texted her that his condition was worsening again, and the plan never went ahead.
Jaykar also dismissed speculation that he was under the influence of drugs. She said she wished he had come: after learning of his death, she thought she could have helped him if he had contacted her again.
Her View of Rhea
Jaykar defended Rhea Chakraborty, saying she was with Sushant at the time and wanted to help him. She said Rhea “got dragged into all this” and described her as a sweet person to work with.
The Wider Context
Sushant died in June 2020, and the case drew intense media and legal attention. His family filed a complaint accusing Rhea Chakraborty, and she was later arrested in a related narcotics case. In March 2025, the CBI filed a closure report concluding that his death was a suicide and absolving Rhea Chakraborty and her family of involvement. Rhea has also spoken of facing a severe online hate campaign. Wikipedia
Why It Matters
Jaykar’s account adds a first-hand recollection to a story long shaped by competing claims. It should be read for what it is: one person’s memory of a single visit, not a finding. It does, however, reflect something many families and friends recognise, the wish to have done more. Her story shows how hard it can be to connect a person in distress with help.
What Comes Next
There is no new legal development in Jaykar’s remarks. Interest in the case continues, and Bolly Orbit will update this report if further statements emerge.
