"7 years later.... - Rhea Chakraborty"

Mumbai, February 4

For actor Rhea Chakraborty, life seems to be slowly moving back on track after a very tough phase. Almost seven years after her world changed following the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the actress is now ready to return to acting.

On Tuesday evening, Rhea attended the "Next On Netflix" event in Mumbai, where it was announced that the 'Jalebi' actress will soon be seen in a new series titled 'Family Business.' The show also stars Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma in lead roles and is set to release later this year.

Rhea also shared a short teaser from the series on her Instagram Stories. Along with it, she wrote, "7 years later...."

The teaser gives a first look at Anil Kapoor as the head of a multi-billion-dollar company, while Vijay Varma plays a loyal and hardworking employee. The story takes a sharp turn when Kapoor fires Varma, leading to a power struggle inside the company. The clash between business and family becomes the central theme of the series.

The release date for the series hasn't been announced yet.

Rhea's life changed completely after Sushant Singh Rajput's death in 2020. The actress was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in September of that year after chats with alleged drug peddlers were found on her phone. She was granted bail shortly thereafter.

In the years that followed, Rhea stayed away from acting. She started a podcast and also appeared as a gang leader on MTV Roadies. Now, with Family Business, she is ready to step back into the acting world.

Honestly, I'm conflicted. While I believe in moving on, the whole episode left a bad taste. Let's see if her work can speak for itself now.

Seven years is a long time away from the screen. Must have taken a lot of courage. Hope the audience gives her a fair chance this time.

The industry and the public can be so harsh, especially towards women. Her "7 years later..." post says it all. Strength to her! 💪
