रिया चक्रवर्ती@34, ‘डायन’ कहकर ठुकराया गया: बॉलीवुड के दरवाजे बंद हुए, लगा था कि एक्टिंग नहीं कर पाएंगी, अब 7 साल बाद वापसी

Rhea Chakraborty is celebrating her 34th birthday today. This birthday is special because she is returning to acting after 7 years.

There was a time when Rhea Chakraborty was in the news more because of controversies than films. In the news related to him, there was less acting and more allegations, debates, trolling and investigations. But this story does not start from there. It starts with a girl who came to Mumbai from an army family and wanted to become an actress.

Then got rejection on the way. Yash Raj’s film got out of hand. It was branded a flop in Bollywood. Questions were raised on the relationship with Mahesh Bhatt. Then 2020 came and life changed completely. 27 days in jail, no work, social media trial, mental struggle and the realization that I might never return in front of the camera.

But the story did not stop here.

Riya started afresh. Started business, created her own platform and now after many years, she is preparing to return to acting. This is not just a comeback, but the story of the second chapter.

Some special things related to Riya Chakraborty’s life on her birthday

Girl from army family who chose glamor industry

Rhea Chakraborty, born on 1 July 1992 in Bengaluru, comes from an army family. His father Lieutenant Colonel Indrajit Chakraborty served in the Indian Army. The family’s background was not filmy. He had decided at an early age that he wanted to work in front of the camera.

He started his career from TV. Took part in MTV Teen Diva in 2009. She could not win the show, but was runner up and got recognition from there. After this he started working as a VJ in MTV and gained recognition among the youth.

Was rejected from Yash Raj’s film, then chose the path of South films

Riya gave auditions to make a place in the industry. Also auditioned for Yash Raj’s film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’, but was not selected. Later the film proved to be a hit. This was an initial rejection, but he chose another path. She started with the Telugu film ‘Tuniga Tuniga’ and later moved towards Hindi films.

Got entry in Bollywood, but not successful

Riya made her Bollywood debut in 2013 with ‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’. After this he worked in ‘Sonali Cable’, ‘Bank Chor’, ‘Jalebi’ and ‘Chehre’. His early career was a struggle. Most of the films were not successful at the box office. Gradually the perception arose that she looked good on screen but the films were not successful. Such tags have a long-term impact.

Discussion increased after ‘Jalebi’, questions were raised on pictures with Mahesh Bhatt

‘Jalebi’ was considered an important film in Riya’s career. This film was related to Bhatt camp and during this time some pictures of Rhea and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt went viral on social media. After this, many discussions and claims started taking place regarding their relationship.

However, Rhea publicly rejected these things and said that Mahesh Bhatt is like a father to her. But the ongoing discussion on social media continued to follow him for a long time.

Then came 2020… and life got divided into two parts.

The biggest turning point of his life came in 2020. After the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, his name came into discussion. His personal relationships became part of the debate. Allegations were made against him, questions were raised on financial matters and the drugs angle was investigated. Riya denied the allegations. But his name remained constant on TV and social media.

When news became bigger than career

In 2020, Riya was not just an actress. His name became a part of TV debates and social media debates. New claims kept coming forward every day. Their relationships, conversations and decisions were in the news. This was a period when opinions were forming rapidly. Riya said that people wanted to prove their opinion right more than listening to her.

What were the allegations and what happened at that time

After the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the investigation took place at many levels. Many types of allegations were made against Riya in the public debate. Questions were raised on him regarding financial matters, drugs angle was investigated and continuous claims were also made about his relationship. Amidst these allegations and investigation, Riya publicly denied the allegations against her.

The process of investigation by agencies and courts in the case continued at different stages. The public atmosphere at that time was so intense that investigation and public opinion often seemed to be at odds with each other.

What names were they called on social media

The impact of that period was not just legal. Very harsh comments were made about Riya on social media. He was called ‘Gold Digger’. She was called a ‘witch’. Some people also started spreading things like ‘black magic’ about him. Riya had said in a conversation with Aaj Tak that initially these things had an impact, but gradually she realized that if one tries to respond to every voice, a person can lose himself.

She had said that after a time she decided that she would not associate her life with every allegation.

Rhea Chakraborty was lodged in Byculla jail in Mumbai.

Arrest and 27 days in jail… the most difficult phase of life

Riya was arrested during the action of the investigating agency in the drug related case. He spent about 27 days in jail. Later she got bail from the court and came out. Legally, bail does not equate to the final conclusion of a case, but at that time it was a big turning point for him personally. The jail experience was the most difficult experience of his life.

How was the experience in jail?

Riya had told that staying in jail was not easy. He had said that after going there he felt as if his identity had been snatched from him. He said- Gradually you start being recognized not by your name but by a number.

But during this time he also saw some things which changed his thinking. He said that many women living in jail used to find happiness even in very small things. He realized that in the outside world people remain dissatisfied even after a lot.

Why did the serpent dance after getting the bell?

Riya also shared an experience related to jail in an interview. She told that she had jokingly told some women there that if she got bail, she would do Naagin dance with them. When he got bail, his brother did not come out, so that moment was also emotional for him.

He told that he kept that promise while leaving. This matter became much discussed later because people wanted to know the emotional state behind that story.

Did you really have suicidal thoughts?

In a conversation with Aaj Tak, Riya had said that at that time she was going through a very difficult phase mentally. He said that due to the continuous allegations, trolling and the impact on the family, such thoughts came to his mind as to whether everything should be ended now.

She said that she was devastated and felt that people wanted to destroy her completely. However, he later said that gradually he controlled himself and started looking at life from a new perspective.

How much impact did it have on the family?

Riya later said that this entire phase did not affect only her. He said that his brother Shovik’s career and further plans were also affected. He told that his family had to face both social and professional pressures.

He also said in an interview that he understood the importance of his friends in difficult times, because some friends kept spending time with his father so that the family did not feel alone.

Where did the investigation reach after five years?

CBI filed the closure report in March 2025. The investigation found no prosecutable evidence against him and the death was ruled a suicide. This was a turning point after a long dispute.

By then his career had changed. The legal process had progressed. Career never returns to where it stopped. She almost stopped getting work and felt that she might not be able to act again. His ‘Chapter 2’ started from here.

When I felt that I would not get work anymore… then ‘Chapter 2’ started.

After such a long controversy, investigation, trolling and career being halted, the question was – what next?

Riya said that at one time getting work in films had almost stopped. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, he said that his and his brother’s careers were affected. Work had stopped and brother’s studies and plans were affected. In such a situation, he chose a new path.

Started a brand… and named it ‘Chapter 2: Drip’

Rhea started streetwear brand ‘Chapter 2: Drip’ with brother Showik Chakraborty. The name was a message. This was not just a business, but the idea of ​​a new beginning. She said that she used to feel like a ‘black sheep’ of the society, but she changed this with a new beginning.

Created its own new platform in the digital world

During his break from films, he started the podcast ‘Chapter 2’. In this show, the conversation moved away from films and promotions and focused on life, second beginning, career, relationships and mental struggles. Many famous faces appeared in his show. But people’s attention was more drawn to the fact that for the first time after a long time, Rhea was seen having such a conversation where she was not giving her clarification. She was listening. She was talking. And slowly introducing herself again.

Roadies showed their new public face

After this Riya was seen as a gang leader in MTV Roadies. It wasn’t just a return to TV. It was a decision to come out publicly again. She was seen talking to the participants about struggle, defeat and rising again. Many people called it an attempt to change his image. Some people considered this the beginning of his return to normal life. But during this time one thing became clear – Riya was no longer the same as before.

Riya’s last film ‘Chehre’ was released in 2021, which was shot in 2019.

Then came that moment… when she said – I did not think that I would act again

Recently Riya shared a video on social media. In this video she was seen preparing for the shoot. He said that it has been seven years since he went to the set. She said- I am still the same girl who came to Mumbai at the age of 17 with the dream of becoming an actress.

She also said that she thought she might never act again. He said that life had moved on, but a part of him had stopped there. Waiting.

Hansal Mehta returns to acting with the series ‘Family Business’

Rhea is making a comeback to acting through director Hansal Mehta’s upcoming Netflix series ‘Family Business’. The series stars Anil Kapoor, Vijay Verma, Nandish Sandhu, Neha Dhupia, Raima Sen, Akash Khurana, Kanwaljit Singh, Tina Desai, Rohan Mehra, Kamal Sadana and Madhu Shah.
