Sushant Singh Rajput's friend, one Samuel, has come out with a fresh take on a romantic relationship between the actor and an actress. In an Instagram post on Thursday, he has claimed that fledgling actress Sara Ali Khan was in love with Sushant and that she broke up with him after the failure of a Hindi film.

“I remember the time during the film 'Kedarnath'. Sushant and Sara were totally in love and were inseparable, so pure and childlike innocence. They both had tremendous respect for each other (sic)," Samuel wrote. He suggested that the disastrous performance of 'Sonchariya' at the box-office may have did their relationship in. He insinuates that the "Bollywood mafia" exerted pressure on Sara to break up with SSR.

Commenting on the development, 'Manikarnika' and 'Queen' actress Kangana Ranaut wrote, "News of SSR and Sara affair was all over the media, apparently they were even sharing a room during their outdoor. Why these fancy Nepotism kids show dreams to vulnerable outsiders and then publicly dump them? No wonder he fell for a vulture post that."

She added, "I believe Sara must have loved him. He wasn’t a fool to fall for a girl whose affection isn’t genuine, but she must have been under pressure."
