Ankita Lokhande recently penned a note on Instagram, explaining why she called Rhea Chakraborty’s arrest as ‘Karma’. She also addressed ‘haters’, while pointing out that Rhea shouldn’t have supported drug abuse by SSR if any, since she knew his mental condition.
In retaliation, Rhea’s friend, actor-singer Shibani Dandekar called Ankita a ‘princess of patriarchy’, and accused her of playing a major role in the ‘witch-hunt’.
Ankita Lokhande’s post read – “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.
Being a Maharashtrian and an Indian citizen, I have total faith in the Maharashtra State Govt/Police & Central Government instrumentalities.
Though when some lingos like “Sautan” and “widow” were used for me, which is in public knowledge. I never responded to it. I only came forward to narrate about SSR and his mental health till 2016.
Dear Haters!
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 one hand, she says she was coordinating with all the doctors for his betterment of health on request of SSR, and on the other hand, she was coordinating drug logistics for him.
Would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition?
Would you do that?
I don’t think anyone would. So how can it not be seen as an act of carelessness and irresponsibility?
As per her, she informed his family about his ongoing treatment but did she ever inform them about his drug consumption? I am sure she didn’t because maybe she, herself, enjoyed consuming it. And this is why I feel it’s Karma/Fate.“
Little advice for the unknown. You guard your friend and I am standing by the family”. But let us maintain civility by not coming on to each other personally, either directly or indirectly.”
Shibani Dandekar in her Instagram stories responded to Ankita’s letter, saying Sushant loved Rhea and that no one had more hate in their heart than Ankita.
“In response to the grotesque letter posted last night by @lokhandeankita. This Princess of Patriarchy has clearly never dealt with her own relationship issues with Sushant! She obviously wants her two seconds of fame and has got it by targeting Rhea and playing a major role in this witch-hunt! Rather than recognising this system of patriarchy. Women like Ankita have jumped on the bandwagon and used it to advance their own agenda destroying centuries of work. What you need to accept Ankita is this. Sushant loved Rhea, period. Before you write a letter to your haters, please note that no one has more hate in their heart (?) than you!”
