Actress and singer Shibani Dandekar expresses her support for her friend Rhea Chakraborty. After sharing a post on social media in her defense, Shibani has now given an interview to India Today about how unfairly Rhea is being treated and how public defamation of her could also be seen as incitement to suicide.
Shibani said that the family of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput did not like Rhea, who was his girlfriend. He added that this is not the first time this has happened to someone in a relationship. “It’s not always the case that when you go out with someone the family likes you. Is it the first time this has happened? Are we so shocked by this that you know, someone is dating someone and their family doesn’t like them? ” she said.
Shibani said that Rhea had told her how she was allegedly sexually abused by one of Sushant’s sisters. “She said it happened, it happened and she was completely outraged by it. And obviously she will tell Sushant how she feels about it and that would have caused a breakup. How can it be okay after that? So this is not something that is shocking news. Sometimes these things happen, sometimes the bride does not get along with the family. What does that mean? Does that equal murder? Does that amount to complicity with suicide? Does that amount to her being a witch? Is it the same that she is a villain? Do you allow her to be vilified? Is this just blocking entertainment for everyone? Let the investigating officers do their job and leave her and her family alone. Is not nobody’s Business. If you really want justice for Sushant, leave him alone, ”he said.

Shibani also spoke about the accusations of being a gold digger that were leveled against Rea. “Of course, why wouldn’t people say that? Where is this money that was stolen from you? Please tell me. Where are these 15 million rupees that you have stolen? Have we found it yet? I mean, you know, it’s so easy to paint that picture, right? It’s very easy to date a high-profile person and then get people to say that you’re only dating them for that reason, ”she said.
In her Instagram post earlier this week, Shibani had said that she and Rhea have been friends for years. “Vibrant, strong, lively… such a bright spark… so full of life! I have witnessed such a stark contrast to this side of her personality in recent months, as she and her family … (some of the best kindest people you will ever meet) have experienced the most unimaginable trauma! We have seen the media behave like vultures on a witch hunt vilifying and torturing an innocent family to the limit! ”, She had written in her publication.
Other celebrities like Vidya Balan and Taapsee Pannu have also come out in defense of Rhea recently.
