Shibani Dandekar On Rhea-Sushant: I Know He Was Unwell And She Did A Lot To Protect Him

Hanima Anand |Sep 03, 2020

The Bollywood actress stood up for her childhood friend, saying Rhea was full of love that she just wanted to protect Sushant’s privacy. Dandekar also shared her feelings about Rhea’s family.

When the CBI investigation on Sushant Singh Rajput hasn’t come to a conclusion, a lot of details are leaked online, along with countless conspiracy theories suggested by netizens. Though different opinions can be seen within the last two months, most criticism targets Rhea Chakraborty and her family as the prime suspect after Sushant’s father filed an FIR against the Jalebi actor.

A series of screenshots were given to prove Rhea’s abetment to Sushant’s suicide, plus the latest scandal involving her brother Showik Chakraborty in drug aspect. This is enough for Rhea’s family to be attacked by the media and fans.

Rhea Chakraborty called for personal rights, Bollywood actors support

Last week, for the first time in the past month, Rhea Chakraborty posted a video of her brother Indrajit surrounded by journalists. He was seen struggling to reach his home, and this was reportedly the situation for all Rhea’s family members.

Since the video was uploaded, a lot of Bollywood actors have voiced their support for Rhea Chakraborty. Taapsee Pannu slammed the media trial against Rhea while there hasn’t been any result from the investigation yet. The actress also called for patience among fans that we should trust the justice system who could bring light to the Sushant’s death.

In the latest movement, Shibani Dandekar also joined the wave of supporting Rhea Chakraborty. Dandekar claimed herself that she has known Rhea since she was 16 years old. Rhea, in Dandekar’s memory, was ‘vibrant, strong’ and ‘full of life’, which is opposite to her situation now.

Shibani Dandekar wrote on her Instagram that Rhea’s family were the “kindest, warmest best people you will ever meet” but they had to experience an ‘unimaginable trauma’ under the scrutiny of the mass media.

Shibani Dandekar knew Sushant was unwell, told by Rhea

After her post, an IndiaToday journalist has approached Shibani Dandekar for an interview. In the sharing session, Shibani confirmed that Rhea Chakraborty told her that Sushant was unwell. Dandekar repeated that she knew he was unwell and Rhea tried her best to protect his privacy because his mental health was very personal.

Shibani claimed that Rhea told her about Sushant's condition one year ago.

The actress questioned what was Rhea’s mistake when she loved a boy whole-heartedly. She had went through dark days with him, and even got so lost in the world of love that she was there for him 24/7.

When being asked when Rhea told Shibani about Sushant’s mental health condition, Shibani said it was about over a year ago but she didn’t say she followed up on the story further. Shibani just said she knew Rhea was handling it with her best.

The journalist continued to ask more questions to confirm the relationship between Shibani Dandekar and Rhea Chakraborty but it seemed there’s no specific information given. All her answers could be made with common scenes. Like when being asked about Rhea’s state of mind after Sushant’s death, Shibani said it came as a huge shock and Rhea was completely devastated. Shibani also affirmed she didn’t contact with Rhea during June 8 and June 14.
