Retweeting Lakshmi’s tweet, Vidya wrote in a statement:

"God bless you @LakshmiManchu for saying this out loud. 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.”

However, Vidya’s tweet has not gone down well with netizens who have slammed the actress for standing up for Rhea and allegedly keeping mum over Sushant’s unfortunate demise. Netizens trolled the Shakuntala Devi actress and called her a ‘hypocrite’.

“Vidya Balan saying ‘my heart is melting for victimization of Rhea’, Let ask you 1 thing @vidya_balan where were you,When SSR fans and family are crying for SSR. your heart was stone at That time?? U haven't said a word for SSR, he was also the part your Industry! Hypocrite Lady” wrote an user, whereas another tweeted: “@vidya_balan

"You didn’t say it out loud when things were said about Sushant’s 75 year old father by Rhea and her lawyer. You didn’t utter a word when Sushant’s sister was maligned saying she molested Rhea. Rhea’s every word in her interview was a lie, we have enough proofs.”
