Two girls suffering from depression around same time, despite being successful. One got unconditional love and support from her family. Made a come back in her personal life and career. Another goes into self destruction mode. Awareness and timely help matters a lot.
Kangana did not receive help from anyone, be it her family or the media. Probably, Hritik was the one who cared to protect her dignity, by remaining silent for an year (till he was pushed to the corner). In return, he got kicked from both direction.
If he remains silent, "He is silent because he is afraid of Kangu, guilty of his deeds".
If he reacts strongly, "It shows he really had something. Or else, why would he react?".
People termed dignified silence as a cowardly act and asked him to man up
Fans can be biased towards their idol. But media should have played neutral. But one cannot expect too much from - Radia tape / "tell me what should I tell them" / sold - Barkha. She chose not to ask Kangana about her crashed laptop, wet iPhone, an allegation without proof.
These journalists created an image of a small town girl, who took on the big powerful man. As long as the story gave them TRPs, they were satisfied. I never expected Rajat Sharma would do the same.
Respecting Kangana's work/achievements are different. But media placed her too high. They did not bother, what if she falls from there. It can really hurt her.
When Barkha interviewed Kangana (during national awards last year), I thought Arnab might pick up this case. But it didn't happen then (also he had quit the channel). But after the latest interview by Barkha, he did not disappoint me 😆. (He looked hesitant for covering a Bollywood news, as he kept giving clarification). Nonetheless, the issue was needed to be addressed by the media in an unbiased way.
I wonder, whether it will ever be proved completely in court (Cyber crime investigation is not very efficient in India). But Hritik might be able to clear his name from media trial at least.

( Some confusing things from mails. How Hritik "redeemed himself" in Sanjay's place?
Regarding Deepika; was it only Kangana's expectation or another imposter? (Anyway, Deepika might not have exchanged her email id with Kangana. May be, she got saved 😆).
