Rhea Chakraborty Opens Up About Jail Experience Raw Emotions and Survival
During a new podcast interview, actor and VJ Rhea Chakraborty opened up on her jail experience, when she was involved in a drug-related case and arrested by the narcotics agency, following the death of her boyfriend and Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput.
“Jail is a very different world because there’s no society in jail. There is a weird sense of equality. Everyone is a number, they are not a person,” Chakraborty recalled.
She continued, “You are a UT number when you are in under trial prison…It’s a strange world, it’s a very evolved crowd. Because it’s just human emotion at its basic rawest. It’s survival. You have to survive each day, and each day feels like a year. It takes a long time for a day to finish because you’re doing nothing. There it is paused.”
“My time in there was difficult in the first two weeks to kind of adjust to this situation because no one ever believes that they are going to jail,” added the ‘Jalebi’ actor. “Once you are in there, it takes a long time to understand that this has happened. There is a deep depression and darkness that I experienced…You are thinking negative thoughts now [whereas] I’ve always been a very bubbly, positive person, like delusionally optimistic.”

It is worth noting here that Rhea Chakraborty and Sushant Singh Rajput were in a relationship when the ‘Chhichhore’ actor committed suicide at his Bandra home in Mumbai on June 14, 2020, while living alone during the lockdown.
Following his untimely demise, Rajput’s father KK Singh had filed an FIR accusing Chakraborty of ‘abetment to suicide’ and ‘money laundering’. She was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau later and was in jail for almost a month, before Bombay High Court granted her bail, citing no criminal antecedents.
