Rhea Chakraborty recalls the impact of the Sushant Singh Rajput case on her family.

Actor Rhea Chakraborty was in the headlines in 2020, but not for any good reason. She went through severe media trials during the demise of her then-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput. Both she and her brother Showik were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drug-related case, and now she has opened up about how the case unfolded in her personal life.

Rhea Chakraborty, who is currently seen in Season 2 of The Traitors, was the recent guest on Farah Khan’s cooking vlog on her YouTube channel. During a conversation with Farah, Rhea recalled how her father was denied a job because she followed the 2020 Sushant Singh Rajput case. “Papa got a very big job as a medical superintendent at a very big hospital in town… and then they found out his surname and said, ‘Sorry, aap Rhea Chakraborty ho toh (You are Rhea Chakraborty’s father, so you cannot work here),’” she told her.

Rhea Chakraborty Says She Has Had Enough Of Being Under Suspicion

During The Traitors, Karan asked Rhea whether she would prefer to be an Innocent or a Traitor. Rhea had a clear answer.

“I want to be an innocent. Iss saal hi actually mujhe clean chit mila hain, iss saal hi logo ko pata chala hai ki mai innocent hoon. Bohot der tak shaq mein rahi hoon toh woh itna pasand nahi hai ab mujhe. Kaafi saal kar liya hai maine,” she said.

Rhea Chakraborty Was Arrested After Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death

Rhea faced a difficult period after the death of her former boyfriend. Apart from the investigations that followed, the actress also faced a social boycott and spent time in jail.

The Narcotics Control Bureau arrested both Rhea and her brother Showik in a drug case related to Sushant.

The CBI’s closure report in Sushant’s death case subsequently brought relief for Rhea as she was cleared of all charges.

In earlier interviews, she revealed that she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder following everything she experienced during that period. Rhea is currently participating in the second season of The Traitors, a reality show built around suspicion, strategy and deception.
