Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday in a drug case linked with the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
In what can be seen as an unprecedented move by Hindi film industry members, who have often been called out for keeping mum on controversial issues, the film fraternity has come together virtually, to extend their support to actor Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday.
Demanding justice for actor Rhea Chakraborty by posting a quote 'Rose are red, violets are blue, let's smash patriarchy, me and you' along with the hashtag #JusticeForRhea, several industry members including Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Anurag Kashyap, Shibani Dandekar, Dia Mirza, Pulkit Samrat, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Huma Qureshi among others from the film and fashion worlds, took to their respective social media handles to share a quote that was written on the t-shirt that Rhea had worn on Tuesday which happened to be her third day of interrogation with the bureau and also the day she was sent to 14-day judicial custody after the NCB produced her before the court.
While several actors used the hashtag #JusticeFor Rhea, actor Sonam Kapoor on the other hand, penned down a quote on "witch hunt" by American novelist Walter Kirn. "Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it's someone else's witch being hunted. Walter Kirn," she wrote in the caption.
Earlier, Radhika Apte and Saqib Saleem too posted the same message on their social media accounts.
While most industry members had been mum initially on the case, recently, several had come forward to slam the alleged media trial in the case and the unfair treatment meted out to Rhea. Among them were actors Taapsee Pannu, Vidya Balan and Lakshmi Manchu.
Filmmakers Anubhav Sinha and Anurag Kashyap had been expressing their opinion on the case time and again on their respective social media handles.
This move however, hasn't ever been seen before where the industry is openly divided into two groups, one seeking justice for Rhea and the other for Sushant.
