Vishal Kirti further revealed that while Sushant Singh Rajput's sister and he were in the same grade, Sushant was one year junior to them. He also added that unlike popular belief, Sushant was a "charming but shy and was known more popularly as Shweta’s little brother" among his batchmates. Because Shweta and Vishal were highschool lovers, he and Sushant were often teased as "Jija-Saala".

Sushant Singh Rajput's brother-in-law then revealed that this tease statement ultimately turned out true for them. This is because of "...the amazing coincidence that I went to IIT Madras for my undergrad and my wife went to NIFT Madras for hers, which gave us the opportunity to stay in touch and we eventually tied the knot in 2007". Vishal also revealed that although he went away to the US in 2006, he remained in touch with Sushant Singh Rajput till 2019 but then their connection was lost.

Further, in the blog post, Vishal Kirti pointed out several arguments against the recent allegations made by a journalist and Sushant Singh Rajput's therapist. He battled against the statement that Rhea Chakraborty was accompanying Sushant to his therapy sessions which is "illegal" and "unethical". He also claimed that it only meant Rhea thought Sushant needed treatment and not Sushant.
