Rhea Chakraborty returned with another episode on her podcast, Chapter 2. The actress shared her journey of recovery and forgiveness following the unexpected death of her partner, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, in 2020, and the intense public scrutiny she faced. She also revealed the true motivation behind launching her own podcast.
Rhea Chakraborty breaks silence on depression after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death; says, “It took me years to heal, there was pain, anxiety, PTSD, and what not”
Actor Aamir Khan complimented the actress’s bravery in their conversation in the most recent episode of her podcast. He said, “What happened with you, I would call it a tragedy. The way your life changed after that, and the way you have shown patience and strength, you didn’t lose hope or faith in yourself. We all can learn a lot from that. A person’s morale breaks and gets crushed. You are starting your second chapter.”
Rhea added, “I think army upbringing also makes a difference. Because you know life is tough. You have seen it from childhood that when dad leaves, there’s a possibility he may not come back. You are taught to fight and never give up. To always stay hopeful. Its just inherent in your DNA. No one can defeat you easily.” Aamir Khan added, “You have shown remarkable courage and you should be proud.”
During the conversation, Rhea revealed how it took her years to get out of her depression. She stated, “It took me so long to start Chapter 2 is because I was healing all this while. There was pain, anxiety, PTSD, and what not. And grief has a veto power over everything else. You could be talking to someone, and you get engulfed by grief out of the blue. There were some of the things, but today I feel that I have renewed energy. I feel like meeting people, my curiosity has been revived. There was no interest in knowing about others and their lives. There’s depression conditioning your mind. After overcoming that, now I feel like the sun is rising again. I feel like doing new things.”
Rhea also talked about her true motivation for launching her own show. She said, “One of the biggest reason why I started a podcast of my own was the fact that media went extreme with the whole episode. I tried to give interviews a couple of times, but I didn’t feel good. I went on a podcast sometime ago, and he promised me that ‘come, we will talk as friends, that person said, I won’t question you like journalist, we are new media, we are podcasters’, but he made it all even worse for me. I didn’t let him release that podcast. At least, in case of traditional media, I know how they are going to approach things and I go prepared. It was that day that I decided that I want to create a safe space where I want to speak to people.”
Rhea discussed in the same podcast how Aamir Khan supported her in managing her anger during her journey. Rhea said, “I used be extremely angry all the time because of everything was happening against me. And it was you who made me watch a documentary, Rubaru Roshni, which was about forgiveness and there I saw people have gone through worse, yet they have forgiven people, so that changed things.” Aamir added, “I remember you were extremely angry on that day. You were extremely unsettled and that’s why I made you watch it.” Rhea confessed, “It didn’t really change me immediately, but eventually I realised that there is no point in being angry. It only caused self-harm. So its better to forgive everyone and move on.”
Rhea Chakraborty faced significant trolling following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in his Mumbai flat. She was taken into custody in September 2020 on suspicion of procuring drugs for the late actor. After spending 28 days in Byculla Jail, Chakraborty was granted bail in October 2020.
