Rhea Chakraborty’s turbulent phase after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death
Back in 2020, Rhea’s world changed dramatically after the untimely death of Sushant Singh Rajput. In September that year, she was taken into custody by the Narcotics Control Bureau after alleged drug-related chats surfaced from her WhatsApp. Though she was later released on bail, travel restrictions kept her movements limited for quite some time. It wasn’t until 2025 that the Central Bureau of Investigation officially absolved her of all accusations in its closure report, finally putting an end to a long and painful chapter in her life.
Rhea Chakraborty reflects on her time in jail
In 2023, Rhea reflected on her time in jail and shared her experience, saying, “So you are basically removed from society and put as a number in prison because you are deemed unfit for society. So there itself, this personality or these things you’ve created about yourself are completely broken. I was in an under-trial prison, which means it’s not a convicted prison, and unfortunately, all the women over there were still innocent because they were not proven guilty. Seeing them and interacting with them, I experienced a unique kind of love and resilience within those women. They found happiness in small things. They grabbed happiness when they got it. They know how to enjoy a moment, and they are some of the happiest people I have met.”
