She is our baby sister forever #justiceforrhea”.In her note on Instagram, Shibani had shared, “I’ve known Rhea Chakraborty since she was 16years old! Vibrant, strong, vivacious, such a bright spark… so full of life. I've witnessed such a stark contrast to this side of her personality over the last few months as her and her family (some of the kindest warmest best people you will ever meet) have experienced the most unimaginable trauma! We have watched the media behave like complete vultures on a witch-hunt, vilifying and torturing an innocent family to breaking point!”
Shibani Dandekar defended her close friend, and said that she put her own life on hold to take care of him. She even promised Rhea to be with her always, demanding justice for her."I am sorry that the best thing you ever did in your life ( looking after Sushant) led you to the worst experience of your life. I am so sorry. I am with you always. Justice for Rhea," Shibani concluded. Celebs such as Harshvardhan Kapoor, Sussanne Khan, Vijay Varma, Amrita Arora, Shibani's sister Anusha Dandekar, Lauren Gottlieb, Rasika Dugal, Maanvi Gagroo and others have supported Shibani and many have agreed with her.
