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."
