What I don't understand was why people would rather stigmatise mental health, not accept that a seemingly healthy person can be suffering within, and, assume the role of moral guardians of society to viciously make the life of a caregiver hell. By grilling even delivery boys delivering food to her place. It has successfully ruined her career, her life, her family's mental peace. Tomorrow, god forbid, if Rhea is forced to take the ultimate step, will Republic TV, Times Now and every other broadcaster masquerading as news provider (which, fundamentally, should be objective in their work ethics and news presentation) take the responsibility and blame for it? Think about it. And a billion people would rather switch on their idiot boxes to consume the cacophony because daily soaps -- that is supposed to conjure up such fiction -- aren't being made in the lock-down. So, these abhorrent news channels are acting as fillers.
This mob-mentality and witch-hunting is what hopes of civilisation projected to nip in the bud. Unfortunately, this kind of social regression is beyond shock. It's easier to collectively blame a girl, and suddenly people who didn't even know about or cared enough for SSR are rising up to say, if he was your son, would you have sat quietly? I want to ask all of these people, that take a step back and answer me, if it were your daughter in Rhea's shoes today, falsely being charged at from all sides, would not an iota of humanity stir within?
I would like to ask those taking part in the witch-hunt: Have none of you, ever, have had any person in your life going through a mental and emotional downward spiralling? Has 2020 not taught us anything?
