Chandra highlighted how the media portrayed Chakraborty, stating, "In retrospect I feel that Rhea Chakraborty was made out an accused by media, led by Zee News through its editor & reporters (at that time)." As a mentor to Zee News, he apologized for the same and urged the channel to acknowledge its role, saying, "Others followed Zee News. As mentor of Zee News, advise them to be brave and apologize. I do apologize to Rhea, even with no involvement of mine. I am like ‘एक मुख रुद्राक्ष’ बाहर और अंदर एक समान। Call spade a spade."

The politician addressed the CBI investigations against the actress Rhea Chakraborty after allegations were made against her by Rajput’s father. For the unversed, Rhea was SSR’s then-girlfriend and counter-claims were also filed by Chakraborty against the late actor’s family. After four years of inquiry, the agency found no evidence implicating anyone in the case, effectively clearing Chakraborty and her family of any wrongdoing.

Public figures such as Dia Mirza and Kubbra Sait have also criticized the media for its aggressive coverage, calling for accountability. The closure of the case brings an end to years of speculation, reinforcing the importance of responsible journalism and ethical reporting.
