After Enforcement Directorate's interrogation with Rhea Chakraborty on Friday regarding money laundering allegations from deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajput's accounts, Rhea has now shared pages from her diary with Sushant's notes on it. Titled 'Gratitude List', the pages shared by Rhea show in Sushant's handwriting that he had been grateful for Rhea, her family, and his pet dog Fudge. Also obliquely commenting on the accusations of owning "properties" in Mumbai with Sushant's money, she shared a picture of Sushant's water flask- his film Chhichhore's merchandise.

Sharing a picture of the page with the "Gratitude List", Rhea has clarified and said, “And this is his handwriting, Lillu is Showik (Rhea's brother), Bebu is me, Sir is my dad, ma'am is my mom, Fudge is his dog “.

With a picture of Sushant's water bottle, it appears that Rhea has advertently said, "The only property of Sushant that I possess". Rhea has been questioned by the ED officials about the dubious transactions from Sushant's account amid the nationwide lockdown as various sources have claimed that she controlled the late actor's finances. She also allegedly possesses two prime properties in Mumbai despite a meagre net worth, as per her Income Tax records.
