Rhea Chakraborty reflects on unexpected blame after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death: ‘They call me names like chudail, kaala jaadu karne waali, naagin but…’ | Hindi Movie News
Following the death of her late boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020, Rhea Chakraborty faced difficult times. She spent some time in judicial remand as well before being exonerated of all accusations. Rhea claimed that prior to everything that happened, she was a ‘delusionally optimistic’ person.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Rhea said to be the type of actor and person who, in the absence of any objectives, only wanted to enjoy her work and be financially independent.She shared, “I definitely could never imagine that the whole country could have any opinion on me, forget good or bad – any at all! Even as an actor, my ambition was never to be number 1, I started enjoying acting as a craft. That was about it, there were no goals. No one prepared me for what was to come. They call me names like chudail, kaala jaadu karne waali, naagin etc, but I really don’t care. It used to upset me earlier.”
Rhea, however, claims that in order to regain her life, she was “almost forced” to follow a “path of forgiveness.” She stated, “I didn’t think I would have it in my heart to forgive for all that had happened. But, it just became the simpler way to be because I was very angry for a long time. All anger gave me was gut issues and acidity. I suffered from acidity for about three years, very badly. Forgiveness became the only option. I was almost forced to go down the path of forgiveness.”
It was alleged that Rhea had abetted Sushant’s suicide after his death in 2020. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned her and her brother Showik on accusations of money laundering. Following the Central Bureau of Investigation‘s (CBI) takeover of the investigation, Rhea and her brother were detained by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on suspicion of providing Sushant with marijuana. The Bombay High Court dismissed the NCB’s argument that Rhea encouraged and supported Sushant’s purported addiction.
