On June 14, 2020, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide, igniting a media frenzy that entangled his ex girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty. Initially treated as a suicide, the case evolved into a murder investigation and ultimately a drug-related case. Rhea faced arrest on drug charges in September 2020, but received bail in October 2020. Due to her Bengali heritage, the public branded her a murderer, accused her of black magic, and criticised her as a "bad irlfriend." The actress maintained her silence for a long time, and many in the Bollywood industry distanced themselves from her post-bail.

Now, Rhea Chakraborty has launched a new podcast called Chapter 2. In a conversation with actress Sushmita Sen on the podcast, Rhea discussed the meaning behind its name. She explained that many people are not aware of the work she does now. While she has not been active in films, she has engaged in motivational speaking, which provides her income. Rhea elaborated that the title Chapter 2 symbolises her journey beyond the tumultuous first chapter of her life, marked by various emotions and phases. She now feels like a newer version of herself, like a rebirth, and wants to celebrate this transformation. Through her podcast, she aims to convey that it is okay to start anew and embrace life's changes, encouraging others to celebrate their own Chapter 2.
During the same interaction, Rhea Chakraborty revealed that people were having issues with the image she had created. They interpreted her personality in a different manner. She went on to explain that whenever she walks into a room, people tend to have polarising opinions about her. The Jalebi actress frequently quips that she possesses a significant superpower. Some think she is a witch and does black magic, while the other half thinks she's a strong girl who fought back and has courage.
Rhea Chakraborty added, "I can sense it the moment I enter a room. I will do this at the dentist's clinic, the gym, 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."
Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty's last movie was Chehre, which also starred Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi. The films she has been a part of are Mere Dad Ki Maruti, Sonali Cable, Half Girlfriend, Jalebi, etc.
