Could be anything in the drives .. porn, photos which she wanted to get rid of as they were breaking up. I think this is a very simple case.. There is no foul play. Don’t link everything negative in that relationship to Rhea. He was a grown up man but too ambitious. He just couldn’t handle being an outcast in Bollywood and getting dumped by his girlfriend.
