Rhea Chakraborty was dating Sushant Singh Rajput, who died by suicide on June 14, 2020. After the tragic and unfortunate incident, the actress came under the scanner of the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate. She was accused of several charges. Rhea along with her brother, Showik were in police custody for multiple weeks. 

At the recently held India Today Conclave 2023, Rhea opened up about her jail sentence. The actress said, "Jail is quite interesting. It is a difficult place mentally, but it is not society. It is like you are removed from society and put in this thing. You are no longer fit for society. You become a UT number. It is a lot of disassociation with your ego and who you think you are. There is a lot of learning that comes from jail. My biggest learning moment was when I saw people in jail grab on to any iota of happiness that they found. If they find happiness for two minutes, they will laugh the loudest and they will be the happiest. It's so rare that they fully snatch it."
