Rhea Chakraborty reveals why she finds the name ‘Chudail’ interesting
During the media event, Rhea said that she has updated her version and Rhea 2.0 is completely different from the older one. She stated that she actually likes the label ‘Chudail’ which people gave her after Sushant’s demise. Detailing the reason behind the same, the ‘Jalebi’ actress quoted:
“In older times, a witch was a woman who did not fathom to the patriarchal society. She had her own way of living and her own opinion that was against the popular opinion of men back then. Maybe I am that person. Maybe I am a chudail. Maybe I know how to do black magic.”
Rhea Chakraborty on mental health issues
Further in the interaction, Rhea spoke about how people in Indian society fail to recognise the impact of mental stress on a person’s life. She said that though India is moving forward and young people are talking about mental health issues but they still don’t understand how somebody can be depressed despite having fame and success.
The 31-year old actress also talked about the time she spent in jail post SSR’s death. She called it a difficult yet humbling experience. Rhea stated, “It is interesting because you are away from society. You are put in this place because you are no longer fit to be in society. At this moment, you start viewing yourself as nothing. You are just a number and you do as you are instructed. You are given a few moments of happiness in your life, and so snatch them. That’s what I learnt from jail. I’m here to snatch it.”
