The foul media coverage and social media obsession with actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death give birth to new conspiracy theories every passing day. The latest addition to this hubbub is the claim that Rajput’s manager Disha Salian was photographed with actor Sooraj Pancholi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disha Salian had passed away days before Rajput’s death on June 14. Social media grapevine<\/a> linked Salian’s death with Pancholi who has been surrounded by controversies ever since his girlfriend and actor Jiah Khan died by suicide in 2013.<\/p>\n

On August 5, Twitter account @KanganaOffical, a parody account with 25,000 followers, had posted an image claiming that Pancholi lied about never meeting Salian. Its tweet<\/a> said, “<\/span>Pancholi said he doesn’t knew [know] Disha. He Never Met Her In His Entire Life. <\/span>#SCForSushant”. This has been retweeted over 1000 times (archived link<\/a>). Other Twitter users<\/a> <\/span>also posted the image with an identical claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

In the wee hours of August 5, Pancholi made a post on Instagram<\/a> refuting social media claims. He wrote, “That girl in the picture which was clicked in 2016 is not \u201cDisha Salian\u201d that is my friend @agaur21<\/a> (Anushri Gaur) who doesn\u2019t even live in India… I have said this before and I\u2019m saying it again I have never met or spoken to Disha Salian in my life”. Pancholi is the man wearing a cap and the woman next to him is Gaur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaur also replied to this post, thanking Pancholi for “posting the truth.” Alt News reached out to Gaur via Instagram and she confirmed that the one next to Pancholi is her. She added that the other woman in the photo is Athiya Shetty, daughter of actor Sunil Shetty. <\/span>“The photograph was taken at Athiya’s birthday party in 2016,” she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A fan account dedicated to Sooraj Pancholi had tweeted a picture of him with Gaur. Evidently, the woman in the viral image and the one in this photo are the same.<\/p>\n
