#JusticeForRhea: Bollywood stands in solidarity to 'smash the patriarchy'

Several Bollywood celebrities demanded justice for actress Rhea Chakraborty by posting a quote on smashing the "patriarchy" and a hashtag #JusticeForRhea.

Celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Raveena Tandon, Vidya Balan, Shibani Dandekar, Anurag Kashyap, and others took to social media to share a quote that was written on the T-shirt that Rhea had worn on September 08, 2020, which happened to be her third day of interrogation with the bureau. "Roses are red, violets are blue, Let's smash the patriarchy me and you," the quote read. While celebrities like Dia Mirza, Shaheen Bhatt, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Huma Qureshi only posted the quote on social media, others like Vidya Balan, Shibani Dandekar, Anurag Kashyap and musician Ankur Tewari also added ‘#JusticeForRhea.’ Actress Sonam Kapoor on the other hand, penned down a quote on "witch hunt" by American novelist Walter Kirn. "Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it's someone else's witch being hunted. Walter Kirn," she wrote in the caption.
