Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan, who were earlier summoned by the anti-drugs agency, arrived at Mumbai and are currently being interrogated. Deepika and Shraddha have reportedly denied consumption of drugs in the past while Deepika has admitted that the drug chat from 2017 which surfaced online recently, belonged to her.
