In a heartfelt video, Rathee expressed her feelings, stating that she does not need support from social media users. “Whatever it is, it is my personal issue. If I wanted to share it publicly, my dear Ritu’s army, I have Instagram for that. Yes, we had an altercation, but that doesn’t give you the right to judge his character,” she said.
“There are very few people who truly deserve respect, and I know him inside and out. I don’t need validation regarding his loyalty from anyone. I have seen him fight through every challenge. This tendency to interfere in others’ lives is a societal problem. I don’t need support from society or social media,” she emphasized.
