Rhea shared that though she and Sushant knew of each other, they started dating much later after they interacted at Rohini Iyer’s party. 

Hum kaafi saalon se dost hain. We met at the YRF [Yash Raj Films] gym around 2013. Meri pehli film release ho gayi thi tab tak, aur Kai Po Che bhi aa gayi thi. Mujhe woh tab bhi achhe lagte the. Lagta tha baith ke baat karni padegi. In 2015, we met at Rohini Iyer’s party. He said he fell in love in a day, but I asked for a few days. I had no idea, that ‘I love you’ will cost me so much.
