Shibani Dandekar is among one of the few Bollywood stars to have come out and openly support Rhea, highlighting her ‘unimaginable trauma’ and calling her a ‘pillar of strength’ amid the SSR case. Since then, many others have come out to support Rhea, played down the charges that have seen her being sent to Byculla Jail, and attempted to make a meal out of the ‘smash patriarchy’ t-shirt as though it has a bearing on recent happenings.
Shibani Dandekar has now hit out at Ankita Lokhande over ‘capitalising’ on Rhea Chakraborty being ‘targetted’ in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. After the former had taken a dig at ‘princesses’ and highlighting their posts about ‘fate’ and ‘karma’, allegedly a reference to the latter, Ankita had put out a strong message for her ‘haters.’ Reacting to that hard-hitting post, Shibani now stated that Ankita ‘wanted her two minutes of fame’ and that she had not ‘dealt with her own relationship issues’ with her ex-boyfriend Sushant.

Responding to a post of a journalist sharing Ankita’s latest post, Shibani tweeted,
This woman clearly wants her 2 seconds of fame and has capitalised on Rhea being targeted because she has had never dealt with her own relationship issues with Sushant.. she has been the driving force behind this and she needs to be called out! https://t.co/egM6iZRuHU

Hitting back at actor-presenter and Farhan Akhtar’s girlfriend Shibani Dandekar for her Instagram post ‘in response to the grotesque letter written by Ankita Lokhande’, the Pavitra Rishta actor put up a long note on her social media account along with a photo with the words #proudtobeatelevisionactor written on it.
Below is the post Ankita Lokhande shared on her social media accounts, it reads,
“2 seconds of fame”
This phrase got me thinking today. Coming from a tier 2 city and belonging to a humble background, I had no fancy education to show for myself. I entered the television industry in the year 2004 with a show called Zee Cine Star Ke Khoj. But my real journey began in 2009 with the show “PAVITRA RISHTA” which went on till 2014. I would be doing an injustice if I don’t mention that it was among one of the best shows for 6 consecutive years with the highest GEC TRP on television till date.

Fame is only a byproduct of the love and warmth that an actor receives from the masses. Along with all the viewers, I, too still feel connected to the character of “ARCHANA”. Both, my fate and the people have been kind enough to me shower their blessings and love upon me. The aspiration of an actor trying to portray as many different roles and characters as possible, led me to explore. Luckily, I got the opportunity to work in Manikarnika as well as Baghi 3.
To conclude, I have been an ACTOR in Television & Bollywood for the past 17 years & now, when I am trying to support justice for my late friend, a view has been expressed that I am seeking JUSTICE because I need 2 seconds of fame and cheap publicity! I cannot fathom as to why any person would take such a stand.
Is it because I have worked mostly on television and not in Bollywood?
Is that why you would take a stand for the person with whom you have had a relationship for almost a decade?
Stop looking down on we television actors, if that was your reason for describing my words as ‘GROTESQUE’ .
It takes an equal amount of hard work and dedication for the actors in the television industry as it would take in Bollywood.

I am proud to be a television actor.
And if not for anything, I shall always raise my voice for the people I love and care about.
