About Rhea Chakraborty
Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty once reflected on her journey of healing, highlighting that recovery is a gradual process with no shortcuts. Rhea faced intense public scrutiny and personal trauma following the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, and has been steadily rebuilding her life. Some time back, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially cleared her and others of any involvement in Sushant's death, filing a closure report that found no evidence linking them to the case.
In 2020, Rhea and her brother Showik were arrested in connection with a drug-related case that emerged during the investigation. Since then, she has kept a low profile while slowly returning to work and focusing on personal growth.
Now back in the public eye, Rhea appears on the new season of
MTV Roadies
and has been making strides with her creative ventures, including her fashion label 'Chapter 2' and a podcast. Her latest social media posts reflect a renewed sense of purpose and strength as she enters what she calls her 'Chapter 2.' The actress marked her debut in Bollywood with Mere Dad Ki Maruti and later starred in films like Sonali Cable, Half Girlfriend, Jalebi and Chehre.
