Rhea Chakraborty opens up on jail time, says co-inmates danced with her when she got bail

Rhea Chakraborty shared insights into her time in jail, following her arrest in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Released on bail after nearly a month, she fulfilled a promise to her fellow inmates by performing a joyful dance, opting for a 'Naagin' sequence to lift their spirits. In September 2020, Rhea faced arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau regarding the case surrounding the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found deceased in his Mumbai residence in June 2020.As they were in a relationship during that period, Rhea endured a 28-day incarceration before securing bail.

Rhea recently was in conversation with author Chetan Bhagat on his podcast. Talking about her jail ordeal she said, “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? ”
“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, ” she added.
