"Rhea Ko Phasao Drama": Sonam ,Zoya Akhtar, Others Write To Media

Mumbai: 

Over 2,500 individuals and 60 organisations, including Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Zoya Akhtar, Gauri Shinde, Anurag Kashyap and Aditi Mittal, have signed in an open letter to the Indian news media against the media trial and "witch-hunt" of actor Rhea Chakraborty, who is in the centre of the investigations in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and is now in jail in a drugs case. 

The frenzied coverage of the case against Ms Chakraborty, 28, and mobbing of the actor and her family by sections of the media have been widely criticised by Bollywood personalities and a large section of social media users.

The letter, addressed to the "news media of India", begins with a question: "We, are worried about you. Are you feeling ok?" 

"We know you can be different - because we have seen you be kind and respectful to the Salman Khans and Sanjay Dutts of this world, urging us to think of their families, fans and careers. But, when it comes to a young woman who has not even been proven to commit any crime, you have assassinated her character, egged an online mob on demonise her and her family, fuelled wrongful demands and called her arrest your victory," the open letter states.

Thank god there are some good people in the industry who will stand up for you. There's nothing these people can gain from associating with Rhea, a middle-class girl and a small-time actress, especially at a time like this where she is being made out to be this culprit.

Really kudos to all these people. It is heartening to know that there is some humanity left in us, still.

@bold So how come she is able to afford a big lawyer whose payment is in lakhs for a hearing ? Can all the middle class families afford that lawyer ?

Sonam is funny. 

Rhea was her brother’s “gf”. I guess she’s trying to not get his name dragged into this .

Rhea, however, remains unaffected by gossip. "I got to know Harsh through common pals. We got along and he's a good friend now. He's a lovely guy. In fact, it is his vast knowledge about different kinds of cinema that I admire him for."

Interestingly, rumoured to be Harshvardhan Kapoor's new 'special friend', Sara Ali Khan is also friends with Rhea Chakraborty. "Sara and I go to the same gym in Bandra. We have common interests; fitness and food top the list," she says.
