(Aditya Shaw, Intern Journalist): Three months have passed since the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Sushant committed suicide at his home in Bandra, Mumbai on June 14. The CBI is investigating his death. Meanwhile, on September 9, the NCB arrested the late actor’s girlfriend Riya Chakraborty in a drug case.
The court has ordered his 14-day jail custody. In the FIR filed by Sushantar’s father, charges of incitement to suicide and financial fraud have been brought against Riya. Riya is being targeted in various quarters over Sushantar’s death. Various posts are being made on social media blaming Riya. His media trial is being compared to the media trial of senior Bollywood actress Rekha.
Rekha’s husband Mukesh Agrawal committed suicide in 1990. Rekha had to face a media trial after this incident. At that time he was also called ‘National Vamp’. Singer Shripada recently shared a post on social media where Rekha’s biography ‘Rekha: The Untold Story by Yaser Usman’ reveals some of the things in front of the fans. Let’s take a look at what is written in the biography of Rekha.
On October 2, 1990, Rekha’s husband Mukesh committed suicide by hanging himself from his wife’s dupatta. Rekha can find out about Mukesh’s depression after marriage. After her husband’s suicide, some people called her a ‘vamp’ overnight. Some of those who were fans of Rekha started looking at the actress with disgust. Not only that, but Mukesh’s mother also said in front of the media, “Mere bete ko kha gai o diyan, bhagwan use kavi maf nehi karega”. Mukesh’s brother Anil said, ‘My brother loved Rekha very much. But Rekha could not stand what she was doing to him. Does he keep an eye on our assets? ‘ Subhash Ghai said, “Rekha has painted the face of the film industry ink.” Anupam Kher said, “Rekha has now become a national villain.” With all these conversations, Chinmoyi wrote in a tweet, ‘1990-2020-30 years the same case, the same response. It’s unbelievable how the line was crossed. ‘
