Ankita Lokhande has to face a lot of criticism after the actress slammed the Bollywood for protesting Rhea Chakraborty's arrest. Bollywood film-maker Farhan Akhtar's girlfriend Shibani Dandekar had slammed Ankita and called her 'princess of patriarchy'.
She also accused Ankita of using Rhea Chakraborty's name to get '2 seconds fame' i.e. cheap publicity.
As a response, Ankita replied to Shibani and wrote, "I again clarify, for the reason time and again being asked by the media to me on whether I feel it's a murder or suicide?
I have never said it's a murder or anyone in particular is responsible. I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies.
Let us assume you must have known in and out about your friend and whats going on in her life and relationship. Glad to see you wake up finally, but I wish you would have woken up sooner and advised your friend not to support any kind of drug abuse by SSR if any. When she very well knew about his mental state by publicly stating that he was in depression.
Should she have allowed a depressed man to consume drugs?
How is that going to help?
His condition would deteriorate to a level that would make a man take the action that SSR has allegedly taken. She was the closest person to him at that time."
On Ankita's clarification, Sushant's brother-in-law Vishal Kirti wrote, "Dear @anky1912. Please don’t take the jibes made by paid PR seriously. Your support means a lot to the family. This is an organized effort to attack people who want #Justice4SSR.As you have correctly pointed out,all we want is to know the truth. More power to you for your bravery."
Shweta Singh Kirti also replied to it and wrote, "Don’t even bother to clarify my dear. We are here for a cause and that is to know the whole truth, and we will keep pursuing that regardless!"
