Rhea Chakraborty opens up about her time in jail after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death: ‘I have not forgiven everybody; some people are on my head now’ | Hindi Movie News

Rhea Chakraborty recently opened up about her time in jail following the death of her boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput, whose body was found hanging at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on June 14, 2020.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Rhea shared how she became a public enemy overnight, facing relentless media scrutiny and harsh trolling. She spoke about the trauma of losing someone close while dealing with the intense backlash.
“Don’t bend, don’t cry, don’t break. You have to take a bullet, you have to take it in the a**. I remember looking at myself in the mirror and saying, you’re scared, right? It almost felt like the mirror said yes. Investigations every day, there was media and mobs under my building constantly, and it required a lot of strength to even make it to the investigation because I was worried that something would happen on the way,” Rhea recalled.

She talked about the resilience it took to emerge strong from that dark period, noting that the truth kept her going throughout the ordeal and continues to do so even four years later. “When I walked out of prison, I knew I would never be the same person again. Jail is actually a very different world because there’s no society in jail. It’s all about survival, you know? Every single day was about surviving. And each day felt like a year,” she shared.

Rhea described jail as a place where everyone is just a number, and survival is the only focus. Reflecting on her experience, Rhea also admitted that not everyone around her was a true friend and that her family felt shattered. She concluded, “I have not forgiven everybody. Some people are on my head now.”
