Five years ago, the death of Sushant Singh Rajput altered the lives of Rhea Chakraborty and her family forever. The actress, who was then dating Rajput, was accused of abetment to suicide.

Rhea Chakraborty on Sushant Singh Rajput case and its impact
In 2020, Rhea and Showik were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with a drug-related investigation linked to Sushant’s death. Talking about that phase to CNBC TV18 and how it left a lasting impact on their lives, Rhea said,
“When we went through the tragedy that we went through, we both lost our careers. I stopped getting any acting work, and Showik, who had scored 96 percentile in CAT and secured admission into a prestigious university, was arrested before he could begin. By the time he came out, he had lost the first trimester—and with it, his MBA plans and future planning.”
