Rhea's friend Shibani Dandekar attacks Ankita Lokhande over SSR: 'Wants 2 seconds of fame'

Shibani Dandekar hit out at Ankita Lokhande over ‘capitalising’ on Rhea Chakraborty being ‘targetted’ in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. After the former had taken a dig at ‘princesses’ and highlighting their posts about ‘fate’ and ‘karma’, allegedly a reference to the latter, Ankita had put out a strong message for her ‘haters.’ Reacting to that hard-hitting post, Shibani now stated that Ankita ‘wanted her two minutes of fame’ and that she had not ‘dealt with her own relationship issues’ with her ex-boyfriend Sushant.

Rhea’s friend Shibani hits out at Ankita

Responding to a post of a journalist sharing Ankita’s latest post, Shibani wrote that Ankita was the ‘driving force’ and that she should be ‘called out’ for it.

Shibani’s dig at Ankita & latter’s clarification

Previously, reacting to the same journalist’s post about the ‘princesses of patriarchy’, Shibani had earlier written, "We know who these princesses are! They seem to know a lot about 'fate' and 'Karma.' Waiting for theirs to kick in! I would tag you but you know who you are."

Later, Ankita hit out in a strongly-worded post. The Manikarnika star expressed her support to Sushant’s family and clarified that she only sought justice for the late star.   

Ankita in her post wrote that she never responded to those 'vidhwa' jibes (Rhea on her first interview had stated that Ankita was behaving like his widow) and only shared her take on her experiences with Sushant till 2016, the year they had broken up.

Shibani, along with boyfriend Farhan Akhtar, has been among the Bollywood stars like Sonam K Ahuja who posted the ‘roses are red’ message in support of Rhea.

Ankita questioned this ‘sudden’ support of Bollywood stars for Rhea and how they should have woken up much before, if they knew about SSR allegedly consuming drugs. The actor hit out at Rhea for allowing the person to consume drugs, when he was being treated for his mental condition.

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.

Earlier, Shibani was one of the few Bollywood stars to have come out and openly support Rhea, highlighting her ’unimaginable trauma’ and calling her a ‘pillar of strength’ amid the SSR case. Since then, many others have come out to support Rhea, played down the charges that have seen her being sent to Byculla Jail, and attempted to make a meal out of the 'smash patriarchy' t-shirt as though it has a bearing on recent happenings.
