Rhea Chakraborty is turning a new page in her life, nearly five years after becoming the focal point of public and media attention in the aftermath of Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise. With recent judicial clearance and a clean report from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), she is stepping forward with renewed energy. Embracing both professional ventures and personal healing, she recently marked this new chapter by performing a religious ceremony at her newly launched fashion store in Mumbai. The puja, held in the presence of her family, was a moment of positivity and reflection, celebrating the new journey she is embarking upon.The store, which opened officially in May, marks her first step into entrepreneurship. Specializing in streetwear, the brand is a reflection of Rhea's contemporary fashion sense, rooted in mindful and urban aesthetics. This project symbolizes her transformation and determination to move past the turbulence of her past.Professionally, she is now preparing to represent Indian talent at an international level. A special court under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has recently allowed her to travel abroad between June 1 and September 15 for professional commitments.She is slated to shoot for the first season of Stepsons, a major global production that will take her to countries including Sri Lanka, Serbia, and other parts of Europe. The court, taking into account her past compliance with bail conditions during previous international trips, allowed the request and rejected opposition claims by the prosecution. The judge emphasized her strong Mumbai roots and consistent cooperation with legal directives. As a part of the conditions, she will need to submit detailed schedules of her travel, including addresses and contact details.The CBI earlier this year submitted its final report, clearing Rhea of all charges related to abetment in Rajput's case. This official conclusion has given her both relief and clarity. Her legal representative, Satish Maneshinde, welcomed the CBI's decision on March 22, 2025, describing it as a long-overdue step toward justice.In its final forensic assessment, doctors at AIIMS dismissed all allegations of poisoning or strangulation, effectively ending speculation around the nature of Rajput's death. Rhea, her brother Shouvik, and others had earlier been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in connection with a drug investigation related to the case.Sushant Singh Rajput, aged 34, was found dead in his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. His father had filed a complaint accusing Rhea and her family of financial exploitation—an allegation she consistently refuted publicly.

Tale Beyond Time
Bengaluru is set to witness an extraordinary cultural event as the timeless Sanskrit classic Mrcchakatikam takes to the stage in the awe-inspiring tradition of Kutiyattam – one of the world's oldest living theatre forms. Directed by G Venu, a pioneer in reviving and sustaining this ancient art, the production by Natanakairali is set to make its world premiere in the city, marking a milestone in contemporary Indian classical theatre. Presented by Bhoomija, with support from the Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies Foundation, Mrcchakatikam (The Little Clay Cart) – unlike most Sanskrit dramas rooted in divine mythology and royal epics – bursts with life through its vivid, deeply human characters. From star-crossed lovers and crafty thieves to streetwise gamblers and philosophical monks, set against an ancient urban backdrop, the play resonates with themes of love, justice, social tension and political intrigue – making it as timely today as it was centuries ago. 'I chose this play because it is very ancient, but at the same time, very different from other Sanskrit plays. The main characters here are ordinary people – not kings or gods. Also, the culture depicted in the play is quite ideal. That 2,000 years ago, the author, Sudraka, was thinking about women's freedom and other progressive ideas left me with a yearning to produce it for a long time,' begins Venu. The production features prominent personalities like Sooraj Nambiar, Pothiyil Ranjith Chakyar, Kapila Venu [daughter of G Venu], Margi Sajeev Narayanan Chakyar, Saritha Krishnakumar and Kalamandalam Jishnu Prathap to name a few. Also featured are Nepathya Sreehari Chakyar, Sankar Venkateswaran, Margi Anjana Sajeev, Gurukulam Tharun and Arun Kapila, among others.
