Sushant Singh Rajput case: Pooja Bhatt shares Akshay Kumar’s old post; Dia Mirza demands apology for Rhea Chakraborty

This has lead to a rightful furore about the kind of experiences Rhea and her family were put through by sections of the media and netizens who went on an overdrive to demean her, and added fuel to conspiracy theories that he was ‘murdered.’ Nevertheless with the closure report being filed, there are voices growing stronger on social media advocating for more restraint, and holding the media responsible for any adverse reactions that can come from a trial by media. Actor Pooja Bhatt was one of the stronger voices that not only supported Rhea quoting Akshay Kumar’s old post that read, “SC directs CBI to investigate Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. May the truth always prevail. Prayers.”

Pooja wrote, “The CBI’s March 22, 2025, closure report confirms Sushant Singh Rajput’s death as suicide with no foul play, clearing Rhea Chakraborty and others. The truth has prevailed. Prayers answered.” The jury is still out there if this is a seemingly innocuous post, or it is a dig at him. While the silence of the film fraternity over the hounding of Rhea continues to be questioned by other members, there are direct digs made at the media for allegedly enabling these conspiracies, and making life worse for Rhea.

Actor Dia Mirza took to Instagram to share her opinions on the same, and wrote, “Who in the media will have the grace to put out a written apology to Rhea Chakraborty and her family? You went on a witch hunt. You caused deep anguish and harassment just for TRPs. Apologise. That’s the very least you can do.”
