When asked about her stay in jail after the untimely demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, Rhea shared her experience and mentioned that it completely broke her. In her words:
"So you are basically removed from society and put as a number in prison because you are deemed unfit for society. So there itself, this personality or these things you've created about yourself are completely broken. I was in an under-trial prison, which means it's not a convicted prison, and unfortunately, all the women over there were still innocent because they were not proven guilty."

Further, in the same video, Rhea can be seen calling her jail experience frustrating. She also said that it was like hell for her. The actress further mentioned that people in jail try to find happiness in as little things as having samosa on Sunday. Elaborating more on it, she said:
"It's frustrating; they're languishing, but they know when and how to catch that happiness. And it can be as small as a samosa on a Sunday. It can be as small as somebody dancing for them. At that point, yes, my life was in the worst hell it could have been. But heaven or hell is a choice in your head that you can make. It's difficult to choose heaven each time. But the battle is of the mind, and if you have the strength and desire in your heart, you'll most definitely battle the mind and win."
