It is unfortunate that the death of Sushant Singh Rajput has turned into a media circus, says Vidya Balan


Actress Vidya Balan stated on Tuesday that it was regrettable how the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput had turned into a media circus. She also criticized the media judgments of actress Rhea Chakraborty.

Vidya’s argument came in response to Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu’s tweet about Rhea on Monday. Lakshmi tweeted seeking justice for both Sushant and Rhea. She added that she would like her colleagues to defend her if she ever faced the situation Rhea was going through. In the note, Lakshmi also said that “media trials” had turned a girl into a “monster.” Her post was re-tweeted by actress Taapsee Pannu, who agreed with her.


In response, Vidya wrote: “God bless you, Lakshmi Manchu for saying this out loud. It is so regrettable that the tragic and untimely death of a beloved young star, Sushant Singh Rajput, has become a media circus.”

“At the same time, as a woman, my heart breaks over the defamation of Rhea Chakraborty. Isn’t she supposed to be ‘innocent until proven otherwise’, or is she now ‘guilty until proven innocent’? constitutional rights of a citizen and let the law take its course, “Vidya added.

Monday. Lakshmi had written: “I watched the entire interview with Rhea Chakraborty and thought a lot about whether to answer or not. I see so many people so quiet because the media has turned a girl into a monster. I don’t know the truth and I want to know the truth and I hope let the truth come out in the most honest way.

“I have full confidence in the judicial system and in all the agencies that are involved in bringing justice to Sushant,” he added.

Lakshmi said that we must “refrain from being mean and cruel and lynching the person and his entire family without knowing the facts.”

After Lakshmi’s post, several stars came forward to support her, but Sushant’s niece, Mallika Singh, had a harsh reaction to the post. Mallika claimed to be surprised that people suddenly remember what it means to defend a colleague.
