Rhea Chakraborty is one of the popular faces in the world of glitz and glamour. The 32-year-old started out in the industry over a decade ago and was a rising star in Bollywood till a tragedy struck in her life. She faced massive backlash after Sushant Singh Rajput passed away. After this incident, she took a hiatus from acting.
Despite hitting rock bottom, Rhea did not shy away from standing up for herself. Four years after the incident, the actress made a comeback on TV with MTV Roadies and launched her own podcast, Chapter 2, which premiered on July 20, 2024. During her conversation with the former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen on the premiere episode, Rhea opened up about her professional front.

Rhea mentioned that people often wonder what she does at present as she isn't working on films anymore. The actress cleared the air around the speculations, saying that although she has taken a hiatus from acting, she does motivational speaking to earn her money. She said:
"I do motivational speaking, and that’s how I earn my money."
In the same conversation, Rhea opened up about a rough patch in her life when she was subjected to an immense media trial and was even vilified following the death of her actor-boyfriend, Sushant Singh Rajput. After undergoing such a tumultuous phase, the actress has finally overcome such negative situations. At the beginning of her podcast, she said:
"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."
