Vishal Kirti, the Us-based brother-in-law of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has slammed a media report for what he feels are demeaning remarks about Bihari families.
Vishal, who is married to Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti has criticised the journalist in question for stating “the way the family has reacted says a lot about the burden of being a son in a Bihari family” in her article.
Responding to the article, Vishal tweeted: “This is where Jyoti’s (journalist) stereotypical ‘toxic Bihari family’ trope gets debunked. The FIR didn’t say that my father-in-law couldn’t stand Ankita. The FIR mentions one specific person called Rhea and giving it an anti-feminist flare is toxic journalism.”
Vishal mentioned that the write-up has affected Sushant’s family.
“Let me say at the outset that the aforementioned article is unintelligent in many ways and is extremely offensive, not only to Sushant’s family but to Indian families in general,” he added.
According to him, Rhea had created a hostile environment for Sushant.
“If hostile environmental conditions are brought out in the FIR, that’s because Sushant’s family in India were aware of the situation created by Rhea and her stooges, as exposed in their complaints to the Bandra DCP in February 2020 and SOS calls Sushant gave to his family in November 2019, January 2020, and June 2020. Those hostile environmental conditions could include gaslighting, blackmailing, alienating, covert medication, overt overmedication, and so on.
Reacting to the writer’s claim that “Bihari families can’t stand girlfriends”, Vishal wrote: “This is a preposterous generalization on many levels. Let’s start with Sushant. Many people know that Sushant dated Ankita for at least six years and they lived together for a good portion of that relationship. People have seen great pictures of Ankita and Sushant’s family together and almost everyone knows that some members of Sushant’s family, including my wife, are in constant touch with Ankita.
Sushant breathed his last on June 14. The Central Bureau of Investigation has stepped in to investigate the actor’s untimely demise.
