Rhea Chakraborty starts afresh with her podcast show Chapter 2 on Saturday. On the show, Rhea, along with the first guest Sushmita Sen, discussed her personal life, her current financial situation and the polarised public opinion about her after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. Addressing the curiosity about how she manages expenses, Rhea said, “Well, people are now confused about what I do for a living. I am not acting in films, I do other things, I give motivational speeches and that is how I make my money.”
Rhea also revealed that the name of her show is inspired by her life. She further added, “Everyone knows my ‘Chapter One’ or believes they know it. I have gone through many phases of feeling different emotions, being different versions of myself. Eventually, I am feeling more like myself, but in a new version, like a rebirth. And I want to celebrate this with everyone who has a “Chapter Two”. I want to say that it’s okay to have a chapter two, to start again, to move on in life. I want to celebrate change.”
During the same conversation, Rhea shared what she thinks of as her superpower – she can polarise any room she enters. While some people consider her as a resilient woman, others still call her a “witch”. “I often joke that I have a big superpower. I enter a room and I can polarise it! Half of them will think, ‘She has done something, she is a witch, she does black magic,’ and the other half will think, ‘She is a strong girl who fought it, she had courage.’ I can feel it the moment I enter a room. I will experience it at the dentist’s clinic, the gym, the airport. It has also made me understand that it doesn’t matter. People who love you, great, people who hate you, that’s also fine, it doesn’t matter,” the actor said.
In September 2020, Rhea Chakraborty was arrested on drug charges related to the Sushant Singh Rajput case and sent to Mumbai’s Byculla jail. She was accused of buying and supplying drugs to the late actor. The actress was granted bail after 28 days. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his apartment in Bandra, Mumbai in June 2020.
Riya Chakraborty participated in reality shows like TVS Scooty Teen Diva, Pepsi MTV Wassup, Gone in 60 Seconds. She acted in films like Tuneega Tuneega, Half Girlfriend, Jalebi. She was last seen in Chehre alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi.
