'People think I practice witchcraft', says Rhea Chakraborty

Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, known for her relationship with the late Sushant Singh Rajput, has revealed that people think she practices black magic.

Speaking on Indian actress Sushmita Sen's podcast, Chakraborty shared how her life has completely changed since Rajput's tragic death.

"If I jokingly say that I have superpowers, people genuinely believe that I practice black magic or that I'm a witch," Chakraborty said.

She added that due to her tarnished reputation, she now struggles to find work in films and people are afraid of her.

It's worth noting that following Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide, Rhea Chakraborty was arrested on charges of procuring drugs for the actor.

Rhea Chakraborty has been at the center of a media storm since Rajput's tragic death in 2020. The actress, who primarily appears in Hindi films, started her career as a VJ on MTV India before making her acting debut in the 2012 Telugu film "Tuneega Tuneega" and later appearing in the Hindi film "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" (2013).

Following Rajput's death, Chakraborty faced intense media scrutiny, with some news channels labeling her a "murderer" and accusing her of financial impropriety.

She was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau and spent nearly a month in jail before being released on bail.

Despite the allegations, Chakraborty has remained resilient, focusing on moving forward and even launching a new chat show, "Chapter 2," which recently featured actress Sushmita Sen as its first guest.
