Rhea Chakraborty accused of abetment to suicide following Sushant Singh Rajput's death

Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty’s life turned upside down after the death of his then-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput. She faced a series of serious and shocking allegations, including being accused of abetment to suicide following Sushant’s death.

In a recent interview with CNBC TV18, the actress has opened up about the lasting impact that the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case had on her and her brother, Showik Chakraborty, as well as on their respective careers.

Rhea recalled the time when she and her brother were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drugs-related investigation linked to Sushant's death in 2020. She also shared that they struggled to re-establish their career following the major setback.

She said, “When we went through the tragedy that we went through, we both lost our careers. I stopped getting any acting work, and Showik, who had scored 96 percentile in CAT and secured admission into a prestigious university, was arrested before he could begin. By the time he came out, he had lost the first trimester—and with it, his MBA plans and future planning.”

The actress revealed her brother Showik’s struggles in finding a corporate job following the intense media scrutiny surrounding them.

Rhea shared, “Getting a job for Showik afterwards in any corporate setup was very difficult. No one wanted to hire someone who had so much media scandal around them. For a while, we weren’t sure where our lives were going. Like, what’s next? We had our healing processes.”

Although Rhea still seems to didn’t scored any major acting jobs, she and her brother, Showik, did make a comeback with their clothing brand, Chapter 2 Drip.
