Rhea Chakraborty Reveals FIRST Thing She Did After Getting Bail: 'I Promised the Girls I Would...'

Rhea Chakraborty recently opened up about her days in jail when she was arrested in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. After almost a month, the actress was granted bail, and the first thing she did for her fellow inmates was a happy dance, fulfilling a promise she had made to them. The ‘Jalebi’ actress opened up about doing a Naagin dance for them after receiving bail.

In conversation with Chetan Bhagat on his talk show Deep Talk With Chetan, Rhea shared, “I had promised all the girls in the jail that I’d dance for them the day I got bail. They were like, ‘Aap heroine ho. Aap dance kar ke batao’. However, I was heartbroken as my brother didn’t get bail. The jailer came up to me and said, ‘I have told them that you won’t dance’. But I told the jailer, ‘I want to [dance] for them because when am I going to see these women again?”

She further continued, “If I can give them a little bit of happiness in their otherwise hopeless lives, I want to give them. Hence, I danced for them. I did a full-on Naagin dance, that too on the floor, on the song ‘Naagin Gin Gin’. Everyone did a dance performance with me. They were so happy that I was going home. They told me, ‘Just be happy. Have a good life’.”

In the same interview, the actress also shared that she found her source of positivity in her fellow inmates. “I started feeling grateful when I saw that many prisoners don’t have family support. Or they don’t have Rs. 5,000 or Rs. 10,000 for their bail. At least, I have my family and friends. I told myself, ‘You will get justice. You will get bail. You have not done anything wrong. I have so much to learn from these women while I am here. Why am I wasting my time sulking about what is not in my control?’” she said.

In September 2020, Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The actor was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020. The two were dating at the time of the latter’s death, leading to Rhea’s 28-day imprisonment before being granted bail.
