Rhea Chakraborty speaks to Rajdeep Sardesai

Rhea Chakraborty's Interview With Rajdeep Sardesai Is Filled With Muted Aggression

I am glad Rhea Chakraborty has finally spoken. And I’m glad Rajdeep Sardesai has given her a platform. To deny her a voice just because the sentiment is against her is not just inhuman it’s also illegal.

To see a section of the media blatantly taking sides against her is shocking and unreal. Is this witch-hunting or news reporting?

Having said this, I must say I found her tone and body language alarmingly aggressive. Also some of her defence was downright absurd. According to Rhea, Sushant splurged 70 lakh rupees on a vacation with his friends.Was that supposed to be a justification for what he apparently spent on her?

It is sad that Rhea stands in a place where she needs to explain her financial equation with Sushant. She seems to feel she was entitled to leave Sushant as she couldn’t handle his mental condition.

When you love somebody you don’t abandon that person when that person needs you the most.

Family, friends, girlfriend, why did Sushant die alone?

As far as Rhea Chakraborty’s defense is concerned it didn’t cut much ice with Sushant’s fans.It is doubtful if Sushant was claustrophobic in the cockpit, as claimed. But there is little doubt that he was in a claustrophobic relationship before his death.
