Rhea Chakraborty sheds light on life behind bars, reveals she danced inside jail

Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, who was in a relationship with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, recently addressed the labels that were unfairly associated with her following Sushant’s tragic death. Despite facing accusations of being responsible for Sushant’s demise, Rhea was not found guilty and was granted bail.

Reflecting on the negative labels like ‘Chudail’ (Witch) and others that were attached to her, Rhea discussed the concept of being labelled a ‘Witch’ and stated that perhaps she has been called a chudail, and maybe she even knows about practices like black magic.

“I kind of like the name chudail (witch). I think it is interesting. Back in the day who was a witch? A witch was a woman who did not subscribe to the patriarchal society or had her own way, her own opinion that was against the popular opinion of men and patriarchal back then. 

She had her opinion and her own thoughts. maybe I am that person, maybe I am a chudail, maybe I know how to do black magic…So I feel like it is a patriarchal society and that a lot of the things being said about me were in the sphere of patriarchy.” Rhea was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

I broke down completely: Rhea Chakraborty

The actress, who is currently seen as a judge in the reality TV show ‘Roadies’, also revealed that she presented a dance performance for other women in jail after she got bail. Rhea said that she did the ‘Naagin dance’ on the floor with other women.

“So the day I got bail, my brother didn’t get bail and I was devastated. It was the only day that I broke down completely and I had promised all the girls ki jis din bail hogi uss diun nachungi (the day I get bail I’ll dance). Bail ho gayi but I wasn’t happy. So I refused them at first and when the jailer came and told me mat karo tum, chhod do (don’t do it, leave it) and I was like haan haan (yeah ok). 

But then I thought that I am leaving and I am probably never gonna see these women again and if I could give them five minutes of happiness with the dance performance with them, then why the hell not!? And I did. It was the most ecstatic moment of my life. We did the naagin dance on the floor.” Rhea said.
