The media has absolutely gone bonkers with the sensationalism attached to the reporting of the developments surrounding the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. More film celebrities by the day are calling out news channels for their irresponsible coverage. Actress Lakshmi Manchu has been the latest addition to many such voices requesting some respect for the judiciary to go about its work sans the media trial, sharing her opinion through a tweet.
“I watched the complete interview with Rhea Chakraborty and Rajdeep Sardesai. I thought a lot about if I should respond or not. I see so many people so silent because the media has made a monster out of a girl. I don’t know the truth and I want to know the truth and I hope the truth will come out in the most honest way. I have complete trust in the judiciary system and all the agencies that are involved in bringing justice to Sushant.”
Rhea has found a supporter in the form Lakshmi Manchu, when the latter added, “Can we restrain ourselves from being evil and cruel and lynching of person and her entire family without knowing the facts? I can only imagine the pain the entire family is going through with these so-called media trials. If something like this happened to me I would want my colleagues to stand up for me at least the ones that know me to say back off hang on leave her alone and I ask all of you to do the same back off hang on leave her alone until the entire truth is officially released. I am pained by what we have become. How are we being authentic if we don’t speak our heart when we have a voice to lend. I’m standing up for my colleague.”
Isn’t it time that media stops milking this issue to garner viewership? It’s left for the media/publication houses to self-introspect.
