‘How close I came to being there’: Marathi actress Ruchita Jadhav says Rohit Arya had approached her for ‘hostage drama’

A police official said that they would record her statement as part of the probe into the hostage drama at RA Studio on Thursday that left Arya dead.

Sharing screenshots of her purported chats with Arya, Jadhav said, “Hi everyone, I want to share something very personal that has shaken me deeply. On 4th October, I was contacted by someone named Rohit Arya regarding a film project. The subject he described was about a hostage situation. As an actor, I agreed to hear more.”

Marathi actress Ruchita Jadhav shared on Instagram that she had been contacted by Rohit Arya.

She added, “On 23rd October, he asked if we could meet on 27th, 28th, or 29th, and I confirmed I could meet on the 28th. On 27th October, he sent me the details including the location of a studio in Powai and asked if we could meet the next day.”

“However, due to unavoidable family commitment, I cancelled the meeting. Today, 31st October, when I saw the terrifying incident in the news – involving this same person – I felt a chill. I can’t stop thinking about how close I came to being there. I’m feeling incredibly grateful to God, and to my family, and I truly believe someone up there was protecting me. This has reminded me—and I hope it reminds you too—that we need to be extremely careful when meeting new people for work, no matter how normal things appear,” her post added.
