For the unversed, Rhea and Sushant were dating one another, and the news of the same surfaced only after the actor’s sudden demise on June 14, 2020.

Moreover, it was Rhea Chakraborty who made headlines soon after she got arrested after the actor’s death in September 2020, over charges of supplying drugs to the late actor. The actress spent a month in the Byculla jail and was released on bail in October 2020.

In the same conversation, Rhea mentioned that whenever she meets a group of people, she can easily feel how they perceive her, post what has happened.

However, Rhea boldly mentioned that in either case, these things do not matter to her. In her words:
“When I have conversations with people, I can hear the thoughts in their minds. Sometimes they are looking at me and thinking she doesn’t seem like a criminal. I can feel that thought at the same time. Does it matter to me? Absolutely not.”
