Apart from spending 28 days in Byculla Jail following the death of her boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, due to accusations that she procured drugs for him, Rhea Chakraborty endured severe media trials and online trolling, which left lasting emotional scars on her.
In a recent conversation with Humans of Bombay, Chakraborty discussed the relentless persecution she faced, explaining that she was ‘forced’ to choose the path of forgiveness for her own peace of mind. However, she admitted she hasn’t forgiven everyone. “If I am being completely honest, I have not forgiven everybody. Some people are on my hit list. If so happens that my life takes me to a place where I am not powerless, and I gather the power and social influence required to make things right, I will.”
Amid all the struggles, Rhea Chakraborty’s friends remained a source of support for her and her family. She recounted how some friends dined and drank with her parents to help them feel “normal” while she and her brother Showik were in jail.
“One of my friends – a couple of friends – they used to drink with my dad and eat food with him every night while we were inside. When I came out, I was like, ‘Why have you gained so much weight? Kameeno, main waha jail mein thi aur tumlog yaha khana khaa rahe ho, weight put on kar rahe ho (I was in jail and you were eating food and putting on weight).’ They were like, ‘No, dude. We were just trying to make uncle-aunty eat and drink and make them feel a little normal.’ And I was like, ‘Oh wow!’” Chakraborty shared during the same chat with HoB.
She also expressed deep gratitude for her close friend, actor-host Shibani Dandekar, who stood by her throughout the trying times. “I was surrounded by superpowers of women. Some of my girlfriends – the way they stood by me – my God! You don’t need anything else – you can have one true friend in life and that’s enough. Shibani (Dandekar) was that for me. The way Shibani stood for me was enough for me to know that the whole world can be against me but I have one friend,” Chakraborty added.
Rhea Chakraborty recently ventured into entrepreneurship with her own apparel brand and is hosting a podcast that has featured notable guests such as Sushmita Sen and Aamir Khan.
