Rhea Chakraborty shared her first Instagram post since Sushant Singh Rajput’s death on July 14, a month after the actor died by suicide. Rhea was being blamed for Sushant’s death and was even being accused of using the 34-year-old actor by many social media users.
Today (July 16), Rhea Chakraborty shared a screenshot of the message that she received on Instagram where the user threatened to get her raped and killed. The actress wrote that she kept quiet when she was called a gold digger, murderer and was slut-shamed but no one has the right to tell her that they will get her raped and killed if she doesn’t commit suicide.
She wrote, “I was called a gold digger ..I kept quiet. I was called a murderer ….I kept quiet. I was slut shamed ….I kept quiet. But how does my silence give you the right to tell me that you will get me RAPED and MURDERED if I don’t commit suicide @mannu_raaut? (sic).”
She further asked the cyber cell to take necessary action against the Instagram user. She wrote, “Do you realize the seriousness of what you have said? These are crimes, and by law no one, I repeat NO ONE should be subjected to this kind of toxicity and harassment. I request @cyber_crime_helpline @cybercrimeindia to please take necessary action. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH (sic).”
