A simple google search with the keywords ‘Rajdeep heckled’ resulted in many news articles and videos which reported the same incident.

In the wake of his latest interview with Rhea Chakraborty on Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, this video is being widely shared with a false claim. Also, we found no news article or report about a mob heckling Rajdeep after his interview with Rhea Chakraborty.
To sum it up, the incident took place in 2014 in the US and not after his interview with Rhea Chakraborty.
