In the emotional video, Akash alleged that pressures within the entertainment industry may have contributed to his sister’s death and appealed for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Speaking in the viral video, Akash Ugle claimed that middle-class artists often struggle to cope with the pressures of the entertainment industry.

He said, “The television industry suppresses middle-class individuals; the same thing happened to Sushant Singh Rajput.” According to Akash, both Sanchita and Sushant faced immense pressure from within the industry. However, it is important to note that the exact circumstances surrounding Sanchita Ugle’s death are currently under investigation, and no official findings have established any specific cause beyond the preliminary reports.

Akash further stated that before her death, Sanchita had shared an Instagram Reel related to Sushant Singh Rajput. Referring to the post, he said, “A Reel was posted on it yesterday. The text read, ‘It is June 14 again.’ The caption said, ‘We miss you, Sushant Sir,’ along with a crying emoji and a broken heart emoji.” Sushant Singh Rajput died on June 14, 2020. Sanchita reportedly passed away on June 14, 2026.

Akash suggested that the timing of the post indicated that his sister may have been emotionally affected by Sushant’s death and what she perceived as similar pressures. These claims, however, reflect the family’s perspective and have not been independently verified by investigating authorities. Akash Ugle has urged both the media and government authorities to ensure that the matter receives serious attention.
