Slamming the media for her vilification in Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, model- actress Shibani Dandekar has openly come out in support of Rhea Chakraborty. On Wednesday, Shibani took to her Instagram to release a statement calling in justice for Rhea Chakraborty in Sushant's case.

Earlier, Vidya Balan and Taapsee Pannu too have stood up for Rhea and now, Shibani Dandekar questioned the ‘torture’ of Rhea and her family by the media after Sushant’s death. She questioned how she was vilified on national television.

Further, she mentioned that she saw how Rhea’s mother’s health deteriorated after the accusations against Rhea and that Showik Chakraborty was ‘forced’ to grow up.

Calling JusticeforRheaChakraborty, she stood up for Rhea and mentioned that her only ‘crime’ was to love a boy and be with him in his ‘darkest days.’ Shibani added that she has known Rhea since she was a 16 year old and that over the past few months, she has seen how the ‘kindest warmest people’ of her family have been subjected to ‘unimaginable trauma.’

On a related note, late Sushant’s father has levelled several allegations against Rhea in his FIR. He recently even said that the actress 'murdered' his son on camera.
