When Lakshmi Manchu tweeted that it is important to stand up for a friend, it was pretty much obvious that her close buddy Rakul Preet Singh is involved in the drug racket in some way or the other. Lakshmi Manchu by then knew Ms Singh was in for trouble which is why she supported Rhea. Yesterday, the national media came out with three names and Rakul is one of them. Insiders in the industry know very well who all in Telugu movies consume and procure drugs but the fact is there is so much influence and corruption that none of the people get caught. This confidence is what makes these people continue taking drugs. Right from superstars to star’s sons and daughters, many consume narcotics and the police department is in the know.
The public is vexed with the noise when some news regarding some person held with drugs comes out as the television channels and print media go crazy devoting time and space to them. Many videos that have industry insiders in Bollywood are naming Prabhas too and some are ready to tumble. There is a talk that Sonu Sood is being funded by a mafia to do charity and is preparing ground for him to play a bigger role of a messiah as Akshay Kumar’s PR to the inner circle at the Centre is not working anymore. At a time when Divya Bharati, Parveen Babi were killed in a systematic manner, social media was not in the picture but now the story is different. People are questioning, they are smart and they could bring a government or a super star down. It is high time the film industry in Telangana too goes into an introspection before the NCB swoops down in the twin Telugu States. As far as the tweets by celebrities in favour of Rhea, take it at least 90 percent of them who are supporting her have someone in the family or friends involved in the drug scene. The rest is definitely paid media.
