In an interview with NDTV, Machhindra Ugale revealed, "She would remain upset. She did not tell us the reason, just that she stayed upset. Even when she appeared to be in a good mood, she would suddenly slip into depression. We had noticed this, which is why we used to accompany her daily. It was just that brief time - hardly half an hour when we were not with her - you can consider that our mistake. But we did not know she had gone into such deep depression that she would take such a step."

He added, "We had spoken to her, but she was being tortured. Someone or the other was troubling her, making demands related to money or something else, subjecting her to constant pressure and harassment. This was happening in some form or the other. The truth will become clear before me, but this was definitely happening.

I have only one request from the administration - that whatever wrong has happened to my daughter, she should get justice. My... my daughter, and all daughters of India... after all, she is my daughter. My daughter should get justice, and every daughter in India should get justice - not just my daughter, but all daughters in the country."

What the actress' brother said

In a statement to IANS, Sanchita’s brother Akash said, “Sushant committed suicide on 14th June 2020. Why? Because Bollywood, this industry, put a lot of pressure on him, and because of that pressure, he committed suicide. In the same way, yesterday my sister also committed suicide for the same reason, that’s what I’m saying.”

“Just 1 day ago, meaning yesterday, she posted an Instagram reel in which it was written— ‘It’s again 14 June’. This means that 14th June is happening again and yesterday itself she also committed suicide,” added Akash.
