SSR Case: Is Vidya Balan In Support Of Rhea Chakraborty?

The death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput is still being investigated by CBI but the vilification of Rhea Chakraborty in popular media and social media has led to celebrities like Shibani Dandekar, Taapsee Pannu, Vidya Balan, Lakshmi Manchu among others lending their support to Chakraborty. She is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for her alleged role in Rajput’s demise. On Wednesday (September 2), Dandekar took to Instagram to share that she has known Chakraborty since she was 16.

On Sunday (August 30), Lakshmi Manchu took to Twitter in support of Chakraborty, urging people to stop lynching and let the truth prevail. She tweeted, “How are we being authentic if we don’t speak our heart if we have a voice to lend. I’m standing up for my colleague.” In response to this, actress Vidya Balan vocally tweeted, “It is so unfortunate that the tragic and untimely death of a beloved young star Sushant Singh Rajput has become a media circus. In the same breath, as a woman, my heart breaks at the vilification of Rhea Chakraborty. Isn’t it supposed to be ‘Innocent Until Proven Guilty,’ or is it now ‘Guilty Until Proven Innocent!?’ Let’s show some respect for the constitutional rights of a citizen and let the law take its course.”
