On Thursday evening, actress Rhea Chakraborty took to her Instagram handle to share a few thought-provoking words with her fans on social media. In a short note on the 'gram, Rhea poke about suffering and strength whilst sharing her 'rheality' with her fans and followers.
In the post, Rhea wrote, "From great suffering, comes great strength! You'll just have to trust me on this one.. Hand in there Love Rhea." She shared the post with the hashtag, Rheality -- the portmanteau is a combination of her name and the word reality.
Rhea inspiring words come days ahead of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death anniversary on June 14.
Sushant and Rhea had been dating for a while before she took off from his apartment in Mumbai on June 8.
In an interview with India Today, Rhea was asked if she made a 'final decision' to leave Sushant when she left on June 8. She was also asked about the messages with Mahesh on the same day, in which she talked about moving on. She said, "I was definitely very upset and hurt. Mujhe kaafi bura lag raha tha ki unhone mujhe call back nahi kiya, unhone mujhe wapas nahi bulaya (I felt very bad that he did not call me back or ask me to return). Is it over for him? Itna hi tha? Ki ab main bimaar hoon toh aap nahi chahte mujhe? Naturally, agar aapko koi bhi aisa bole, aapko bura toh feel hoga. Lekin yeh jo aap refer kar rahe hai, shayad iss conversation se iska koi lena dena hai nahi (Was it just this much? Now that I am unwell, does he not want me? Naturally, if anyone tells you this, you will feel very bad. But the message you are referring to perhaps had nothing to do with this situation).”
On June 14, the 'Chhichhore' star was found dead in his Bandra apartment.
Following his tragic and sudden death, Sushant's father KK Singh had filed an abetment to suicide case against Rhea. Other charges such money laundering too were levelled against her.
Following the charges, Rhea and her brother Showik Chakraborty were questioned several times by the investigating authorities including the CBI.
In fact, in September, Rhea was arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for allegedly procuring drugs. She spent a month in Byculla jail, in Mumbai, before she was released on bail.
All this while, Rhea stayed away from social media and did not make any statements in the media. However, in March she took to her Instagram handle on the occasion of Women's Day and shared a picture of her hand intertwined in her mother's hand and said, "Maa and me .. together forever ... my strength, my faith, my fortitude - my Maa."
In the last few weeks, Rhea has been seen engaging on social media more often posting pictures and quotes and also using the platform to amplify requests from patients/their relatives affected with COVID-19.
