Rhea Chakraborty recently opened up about the intense ordeal she faced in the aftermath of her boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput’s death on June 14, 2020.
In a revealing interview with Humans of Bombay, Rhea shared the emotional and psychological challenges she endured, describing how her life was turned upside down as she became the target of relentless media scrutiny and public backlash.
Reflecting on this dark period, Rhea spoke candidly about the trauma of losing a loved one but being being disgraced by the public.
“I remember looking at myself in the mirror and saying, ‘You’re scared, right?’ It almost felt like the mirror said yes,” Rhea recounted. The intense media coverage and daily investigations took a heavy toll on her, with mobs gathering outside her home and cameras tracking her every move.

Rhea also provided insight into her time in police custody, describing it as a surreal experience that fundamentally changed her. “When I walked out of prison, I knew I would never be the same person again. Jail is actually a very different world because there’s no society in jail. It’s all about survival, you know? Every single day was about surviving. And each day felt like a year,” she revealed.
The actress also opened up about the personal betrayals she faced, noting that not everyone around her was a true friend during those challenging times. The experience, she said, left her family shattered and Rhea admitted that she has not forgiven everyone involved in her ordeal. “I have not forgiven everybody. Some people are on my head now,” she said.
