"Everybody knows my ‘chapter one’, or assumes that they know it. I did go through a lot of phases of feeling different emotions, being different versions of myself. Finally, I am feeling more me, but a newer version, like a rebirth. And I want to celebrate that with anyone who has a ‘chapter two’. I want to say that it is ok to have a chapter two, to start again, to move on in life. I want to celebrate change."

Furthermore, Rhea talked about the varied stances on her ability to enter a room and polarise it. The actress mentioned that half of the people would think that she was capable of doing witchcraft, and the other half would take her courage into consideration. In Rhea's words:

"I often joke that I have a big superpower. I enter a room, and I can polarise it! Half of them would think, ‘Isney kuch kiya hai, ye chudail hai, kala jadoo karti hai‘ and the other half would think, ‘She’s a strong girl who fought it, she had courage.’ I can sense it the moment I enter a room. I will do this at the dentist's clinic, the gym, and the airport. That has also made me understand that it doesn’t matter. Those who love you, great, those who hate, that’s also ok, it doesn’t matter."
