On June 14, 2020, actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead by hanging in his Mumbai home. The death triggered investigations by multiple agencies including the Mumbai Police, CBI, ED and NCB amid allegations of abetment, financial fraud, and drug misuse. Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau for allegedly procuring drugs in relation to the case. Rhea was in jail for 28 days, before the Bombay High Court granted her bail.
Rhea's Recalls Her Experience In Jail
During an event organised by NDTV recently, Rhea opened up about her emotional journey after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and her experience in jail. She revealed that she wasn’t happy after the CBI gave her a clean chit in the case and also recalled performing a 'naagin dance' for her fellow inmates on the day she was granted bail.
Rhea Performed 'Naagin Dance' After Bail!
Rhea said, “People asked me to dance for them. I did naagin dance on the day of my bail. I thought that we never know when I’ll meet them next and if I can give them a moment of happiness, then why not? Most of those women are innocent and hopeless in such under-trial prisons.”
Her Reaction After Clean Chit
The actor further revealed that she was not happy after being cleared of all charges by the CBI. She shared, “People said he did not go because of you. I always knew I hadn’t done anything. But even when the clean chit came, I couldn’t feel happy. I was only happy for my parents and their reputation. But, we were no longer the same carefree family, it can’t come back. That moment altered all of us completely, for our entire life.”
Grief and Moving Forward
Rhea reflected on the grief surrounding Sushant’s passing, saying that everyone forgot "the person who was the closest to him suffered the biggest loss.” She admitted that she wasn’t given a normal chance to grieve at that time. Today, she says her grieving process has ended, and she is finally fine.
