Sushant Singh Rajput’s therapist opens about his mental health, says Rhea was his biggest support

The latest updates in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case seems to have gotten as mysterious as ever. After late actor’s father filed an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty, his former therapist, Susan Walker, has come out in her support.

In an interview to Barkha Dutt, Susan opened about Sushant’s medical condition, adding that Rhea had been his biggest support throughout. While addressing the media, she mentioned that she decided to breach confidentiality given the reckless media coverage around mental health and allegation against Rhea Chakraborty who “gave him courage to seek help”.

Susan said that Sushant was suffering terribly during his “bouts of depression and hypomania” and also added that he had bipolar disorder. “Sushant was suffering from bipolar disorder. Symptoms can include severe anxiety. Mental health is no different to cancer or diabetes. Appalling stigma around mental health makes it difficult for patients,” Susan said.

Susan also shared she met Rhea and Sushant over multiple sessions in November 2019 and said that he depended on Rhea “as somewhat of a mother figure.” “Rhea gave Sushant courage to attend the sessions. The treatment that Rhea has received on social media is deeply shocking to me,” she added.

She also said the “misinformation and conspiracy theories” circulating around internet made it her “duty to make a statement”. Susan also added that Sushant was fearful of the stigma around mental health and his tragic demise should be a lesson to one and all to get rid of the taboo associated with it.

Sushant was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14. The cause of his death was revealed to be asphyxia due to hanging. While reports made round that he was suffering from severe anxiety, a major section of the country, including Sushant’s family have refused to believe that the actor took his own life.

The Mumbai police has quizzed more than 40 people in connection with Sushant’s death but haven’t been able to trace any foul play. Meanwhile, after one and a half month of actor’s death, his father, K.K. Singh, filed an FIR in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty, for abetment of suicide.

Rhea and her lawyer have refuted the allegations and has sought to transfer the case from Patna to Mumbai. Supreme Court will consider the plea on August 5.

TikTok may separate itself from Chinese firm ByteDance for survival

Video sharing social media app, TikTok, has been receiving flak worldwide for its links to China. The app owned by Chinese firm ByteDnace has been accused of stealing users’ data and providing it to China government.

TikTok has already been banned in India and now the U.S. president Donald Trump has also made his intention clear of banning the app. Both the countries have a major audience who use the app frequently, thus, the bar will really make it difficult for TikTok to survive in the market. Considering this, the wildly popular app reportedly wants to “sell itself to Microsoft and other companies”, as per a report by The New York Times.

In his recent statement, Trump had said that he is “weighing harsh actions against TikTok”. This move by the U.S. will abide any company in America to carry out business operations with the Chinese app.

“TikTok has discussed other scenarios to alleviate concerns by U.S. officials. In one scenario, non-Chinese investors like Sequoia capital, SoftBank and General Atlantic could purchase a majority stake in the app from ByteDance, people familiar with the discussion have said,” as per the report by The New York Times.

Following the intense scrutiny in India and the Unites States, reports surfaced earlier claimed that ByteDance may move TikTok headquarters out of China to remove its link from the country.

Media reports also claimed that Microsoft might buy the app, however, Trump hadn’t approved of any spin-off deal with the company in the country. Microsoft, on the other hand, has refrained itself from commenting on the topic.

Meanwhile, TikTok CEO, Kevin Mayer, in his defence posted an open letter. “TikTok has become the largest target, but we are not the enemy. We are taking our first step of many to address these concerns and call on the industry to follow our lead for the benefit of users and creators everywhere,” he said.

Apple inc on Saturday removed 29,800 apps from its Chinese app store, including more than 26,000 games, data research firm Qimai reported. The move has come in middle of a crackdown on games that don’t have the required government license to allow them for in-app purchases.

Apple has been warning game developers to acquire licences from Chinese authorities if they wish to continue their services available at the iOS App Store for quite some time now. Since the developers didn’t abide by the rules, Apple has now decided to take down the warned apps.

According to media reports, Apple had given developers a June-end deadline to submit a government-issued licence number for continuing to provide their apps for make in-app purchases.

According to data research firm Qimai, Apple pulled a total of 29,800 apps from the Chinese version of the App Store on Saturday, including more than 26,000 games. Reuters reports the new batch of removals follows an earlier sweep from the first week of July, which affected over 2,500 apps, including games from major companies including Supercell and Zynga.

The Chinese government has strict regulations on its gaming industry to remove sensitive content. Seeking approval from the officials in China is a laborious process, and often ends up taking a complicated procedure. Many small-and-mid sized developers’ are affected by the process, an industry outsider said.

“This affects small- and mid-sized developers’ incomes the most, but due to the difficulties of acquiring a business licence, it’s devastating to the whole iOS game industry in China,” said Todd Kuhn, marketing manager for AppIn China, a firm that helps overseas companies distribute their apps in the country.

Nepal to send its revised map to UN, Google

In an unprecedented move, Nepal have now decided to send its new political map to the United Nations and Google to gain international recognition. The controversial map, which includes three disputed lands and has been opposed by India, was legitimized by Nepal’s parliament unanimously by including it in the national emblem.

“We are soon delivering the revised map incorporating Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura to the international community,” Nepal’s Minister for Land Management Padma Aryal was quoted as saying by a Nepalese news portal. He also added tha the new map will shortly be sent to the international community by mid-August.

The new map shows Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani within Nepalese borders. Earlier in June, Kathmandu had made major changes its constitution to incorporate the new map into its national emblem, the move was highly criticized by New Delhi calling it an “artificial enlargement not based on historical facts and evidence.”
`
However, Nepal’s decision to send the new map to United Nations may not yield any results as the organisation does not include any areas and territories claimed by the country in its territories. The UN always prints its own map and says that the boundaries and names that are shown and the designations that have been used on this map do not implicit acceptance by the organization.

Meanwhile, the Nepal government is also preparing to publish a book that will consist the “encroached territories” of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura.

Nepal had officially released its new political map on May 20. India had solemnly condemned the move saying “It is contrary to the bilateral understanding to resolve the outstanding boundary issues through diplomatic dialogue. Such artificial enlargement of territorial claims will not be accepted by India,” the Ministry of External Affairs had said in June.”

Australia won the game by 122 runs. Other than Harbhajan’s bad umpiring decisions had also led the Indian team down.

Remembering the infamous Monkeygate scandal during India’s tour to Australia in 2007-08, former captain Anil Kumble said on Saturday that he and other Indian players believed that Harbhajan Singh was wrong.

Australia won the game by 122 runs. Other than Harbhajan’s bad umpiring decisions had also led the Indian team down.

“As a captain you’re generally tuned to take decisions on the field. Here I was faced with something, which was off the field, to take a decision in the larger interest of the game,” Kumble told Ravichandran Ashwin during latter’s YouTube show ‘DRSWithAsh’.

“And one of our players (Harbhajan Singh) was obviously banned for three matches because of a racist remark – that was what the pronouncement was and we appealed. I felt he was wronged.

“We had to obviously be together as a team but the challenge was that there was a lot of talk about the team wanting to come back at that point in time, and leave the tour and come back.

“Yes, you know, probably (people) would have accepted that the Indian team was wronged and that’s why they came back,” he added.

 “I think as a captain, or as a team, we had gone there to win the series. Unfortunately, with the first two results not going our way, the best result could have been a drawn series because two more Test matches remained and I just wanted to rally around the team. I was fortunate enough to have senior players, former captains, in the team,” he added.

Speaking to the Times of India, Kangana said that she heard the gunshots around 11:30 pm and immediately called a guard to check in. Police reached her home late at the night and said that someone must be firing a gun to scare away bats from apple orchards. Suspecting foul play, Kangana inquired her neighbours about the same, they denied firing the gunshot.

“I have heard the sound of a bullet and I think it was definitely a bullet, very intently fired twice, two shots with a gap of about eight seconds between them. And it was right opposite my room. So it seems like someone was behind the boundary walls, there’s a jungle and a water body there,” she stated.

“I do feel that, you know, because I have made a political comment on people who are known for their goondagardi. So this may have been a small-time alarming call for me that okay, you know, don’t talk like that about us or something like that… to me seems like that, because such an activity has never happened here before. And I have witnesses who have also heard it along with me,” she said. “I think some local people may have been hired to come near my place, you know, it is not difficult to pay someone seven-eight thousand rupees here and assign them something like this. To do this to make a statement on the day I called out the chief minister’s son – I don’t think it was a coincidence. People are telling me that they will now make your life miserable in Mumbai. Well, I don’t have to be in Mumbai, they are doing it here also. Is there open goondagardi in this country? This is how Sushant must have been frightened. But I will continue to ask questions,” she added.

Everyone knows but no one can take his name, Karan Johar’s best friend and world’s best CM’s best son, lovingly called baby penguin, Kangana is saying if I found hanging in my house, please know I did not commit suicide.”

Kangana is currently staying with her family at her Manali residence. After her statement, the Kullu police has deployed security nearby and is checking all the vehicles passing by.
