Rhea Chakraborty’s ‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’ co-star Saqib Saleem had a very important question to ask in a recent interview.
Talking about Rhea Chakraborty’s media trial, he asked, “Will they apologise for the mental trauma?”

Rhea Chakraborty is currently serving time in the Byculla prison after the NCB arrested her for her relation in the drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput’s case. Saqib Saleem stated that he felt anxious when he saw the treatment Rhea had received by media personnel.
“It is giving me anxiety in a way that what are we doing to people? How are we treating people? As I said, I completely believe in the judiciary of the country and all the investigative agencies that are right now investigating,” he said.
Continuing the conversation he added, “What I am against is the media trials. Imagine, if tomorrow, Rhea is given a clean chit by the supreme court, will the news channels come out publicly and apologise? Will they apologise for the mental trauma? So these are basic questions one needs to ask. Behave and act responsibly.”
Saleem also urges everyone to be done with the insider vs outsider debate. “It is not easy for sure, but nothing in life is easy. Now we are in the times where there’s so much work in the webspace, short films etc. The webspace has opened up a new dimension. There is enough work. Let’s get done with this insider-outsider debate. Let’s concentrate on doing good work and finding good work. Genuinely, work on your skillset. To all the actors out there, learn and work on your acting more than anything else. That is what going to take you far and nothing else.”
