Rhea Chakraborty has recently opened up about her tumultuous journey following the death of her ex-boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, in June 2020. In a candid interview with Humans of Bombay, she discussed the intense media scrutiny and online trolling she faced, revealing that while she has chosen to forgive many for her own mental health, there are still individuals she has not forgiven, stating, “Some people are on my hit list.”
Chakraborty described the emotional toll of the vilification she experienced, which included being labeled as a manipulative figure in the wake of Rajput’s tragic death. She reflected on the anger that consumed her during that period, which led to significant health issues, including severe acidity. “Forgiveness became the only option,” she explained, emphasizing that her decision was driven by the need for personal peace rather than absolution of those who wronged her.
Despite her efforts to move forward, Chakraborty admitted that she has not completely let go of her resentment towards certain individuals. “If I gather the power and social influence required to make things right, I will,” she asserted, hinting at a desire for accountability.
The actress, who was arrested in September 2020 on drug-related charges but was later released on bail, also shared insights into her current life. She has ventured into entrepreneurship with her own apparel brand and is hosting a podcast featuring various celebrities. On the topic of marriage, Chakraborty expressed her reluctance to conform to societal pressures, stating that there is no right age for marriage and questioning why such expectations are often placed on women.
Chakraborty’s reflections highlight the ongoing challenges she faces in reclaiming her narrative amidst a backdrop of public scrutiny and personal loss. Her journey illustrates the complexities of navigating fame, mental health, and the quest for justice in a highly publicized case.
