Rhea Chakraborty has unveiled her upcoming podcast, "Chapter 2," with the illustrious Sushmita Sen as her inaugural guest. In a recently shared promo on social media, Rhea candidly reflects on the names she has been called following the tragic death of her former boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The promo opens with a surprising exchange where Rhea quips to Sushmita, “Do you know that there is a bigger gold digger than you in this room,” When a bewildered Sushmita responds with, "Really?", Rhea candidly replies, “Me. I’m the biggest one.” She goes on to reflect, "Hate is yelled, but love is felt."
In the teaser, Rhea and Sushmita engage in a heartfelt conversation that covers topics from parenting to handling public scrutiny. Rhea shared her excitement on social media, writing, “I just turned 32 yesterday, and what a journey it’s been! These past 4 years have been all about change, growth, and becoming a version of myself that I’m finally feeling good about. To celebrate, we’re kicking off something special - inviting incredible individuals who’ve embraced their own Chapter2 in life. And to start with, who better than the incredible Sushmita Sen! I’ve looked up to her ever since I was a kid, and I’m still in awe of how she keeps challenging life and winning at it. We had such a great chat about all things life, love and evolution. Sequels are usually boring, but not this one! Chapter2, Stay Tuned.”
The 'gold digger' reference harks back to the time when Sushmita faced backlash after her relationship with Lalit Modi became public. Despite the criticism, Sushmita responded with her signature wit, stating, "I dig deeper than gold...and I've always preferred diamonds! And yes, I still buy them myself."

Sushmita had faced similar trolling when her relationship with Lalit Modi became public, although she never confirmed the romance. In response to the criticism, Sushmita famously quipped on Instagram, "I dig deeper than gold...and I've always (famously) preferred diamonds! And yes, I still buy them myself."
The promo sheds light on Rhea’s turbulent period following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in June 2020. Rhea was subjected to intense scrutiny and harsh allegations from fans, even spending weeks in jail as investigations unfolded.
Rhea also praises Sushmita's parenting skills, suggesting she could start a course on raising kids right. Sushmita, who has two adopted daughters, Renee and Alisah, shares her insights and experiences during their engaging discussion.
While the exact release date of "Chapter 2" remains under wraps, the anticipation is building for this new venture that promises heartfelt conversations and insightful reflections.
