Actor Taapsee Pannu has said that although he does not know Rhea Chakraborty personally, he should speak out against the treatment of the latter in the media. Taapsee believes that many have branded Rhea the culprit in the death of Sushant Singh Rajput even before the court can render its sentence.
“In this particular case, as I’ve always maintained, I really didn’t know her at all. I still don’t know her. The only problem I had was the kind of unfair trial that was going on and the kind of trial that was passed to her. It’s not that we haven’t had criminals from other industries before or people caught for doing something wrong in other industries. Even in our industry, for that matter. We’ve had a couple of big stars caught up, but the way this girl went through the media judgment and physical harassment in some places, it was something very shocking and something I couldn’t contain. I had to speak without knowing anything about her, ”he said in a new interview.
Taapsee spoke to India Today, adding: “There are people who support this point of view and there are people who have probably dismissed it before the court or the investigative agencies have rendered their verdict. They want to force this opinion on everyone’s head. So I think that’s wrong. ”
Taapsee also shared his thoughts on veteran actor and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan’s speech in Parliament on Bollywood’s image being tarnished. “Because we have always supported initiatives, causes and awareness campaigns. Time for revenge. Hitting the nail on his head and how! once again an industry woman spoke #Respect, ”Taapsee tweeted on Tuesday.

Jaya’s speech, in which he used a Hindi proverb to say that those who defame the industry bite the hands that feed them, earned him praise from many of his colleagues in Bollywood, who has been under a cloud since the death of actor Sushant. Singh Rajput in June. Although he did not take any names, his speech came a day after BJP MP Lok Sabha and Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan said there was a drug addiction problem in the film industry. He also said that he completely disagrees with those who call the entertainment industry a “gutter,” a term used by actress Kangana Ranaut to describe Bollywood in a tweet last month.
