Can someone tell me who came up with this money laundering theory? I haven't been paying that much attention. I want to know where this money laundering thing came from.

Do people actually know what money laundering is? Because it's very obvious most people don't know what it means. 🤣

I think people are not aware when they use some terms. ED is for fighting economic crimes in India which also involves money laundering along with lots of other things concerning money.

In Rhea's case if she is being accused of using Sushant's money and people are terming that as money laundering then are people aware what it says about Sushant's money in first place? It means the money that Sushant was possessing was illegally acquired. But I guess that is not the case.

If she is accused of possessing properties which has no money trail as per her income documents or if the source cannot be verified as "legal" then she can be tried in court for money laundering.

But in Rhea's case she is being accused of using Sushant's money for her own advantage so the right term is "Exploiter". So if ED find out that Sushant's signature was forged or if his concern was under duress or some compulsion then she will be in trouble otherwise it would be really difficult to put her behind bars in ED case.

The above is as per my little understanding. It can be wrong as well. I am no authority for validation.

They were silent during Hrithik Roshan case as well. He is an insider, Industry's own kid still there was no noise in his defence except I think Farhan. It was assumed at that time that no noise from Bollywood means he is guilty hence the silence. Even his kids were not spared at that time but he fought his won battle. Put forwarded evidences in his defence and pulled people like me to his side who were against him earlier.

So was the case with SRK. He was crucified for something he did not even say. Still people who just go by social media handles, crop media images & edited videos believe he said things which he never said. I don't recall anyone from the Industry uttered anything in his defence.

The above 2 names are big in this Industry still no one came forward in their defence. Moral of the story is as someone already said in the thread, this is "Business'. If people benefit from it then they give their voice otherwise no one will stick their neck out for bilateral battles. Majority of us are also same. We voice our support till the time we or our families are not directly/indirectly affected by it. Ideally it should not be the case but we don't live in the ideal world.

It is better to be silent then to open your mouth in such cases as you don't know what exactly happened.

Everyone today that is advocating for B-Town celebs to stay mum on this case, when there are riots, protests, lynchings etc, please don’t expect a single celeb to speak up then either. Let’s hold them accountable for nothing at all, they’re just celebs right? People that entertain us. Why expect people with such a big fan following and that much power and reach to audiences across society to use that power ever?

accha chup hi rahe nahi toh nap jayenge😆

Then why did they lament on about depression in the beginning? They should have stfu then too.

Bcoz , when they spoke against depression, they were not hurting anyone or no one in the government would come after them for spreading awareness about depression . Even then, it’s only a handful of celebrities like Deepika who spoke abt it. But, when they speak out now, they will be automatically taking sides. And the other side would be pissed off.
