As the Enforcement Directorate reportedly submitted details of Rhea using and dealing in narcotics, Kangana claimed that her ‘mentor turned tormentor’ used to spike her drinks and sedate her. Later, when she became successful, she got invited to Bollywood parties, that she termed as ‘shocking and sinister world and drugs, debauchery and mafia.’ The Tanu Weds Manu star added that cocaine and MDMA were commonly used, and often given even without a person’s knowledge. She stated that in the movie Sanju, ‘exploitation of women, debauchery, drug abuse movie mafia’s underworld connections’ were all shown, but added that those in power got away with anything.
