"7 years have passed since I went to set ..But I'm still the same girl who came to Bombay at 17 with a dream to be an actor. - Rhea Chakraborty"

Mumbai, Feb 4

Actress Rhea Chakraborty seems to be slowly taking back control of her life. She will be returning to acting after 7 long years with the recently announced Netflix drama "Family Business".

Returning to the set after such a long time left the 'Jalebi' actress a little emotional. She ended up reflecting on her journey in Bollywood, which started with a 17-year-old girl coming to Bombay with nothing but a dream to become an actor.

Rhea penned on her official Instagram handle, "7 years have passed since I went to set ..But I'm still the same girl who came to Bombay at 17 with a dream to be an actor. A part of me moved on, but a part of me stayed and waited. And I'm here, once again in my chapter2 It seems Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans (sic)."

Rhea further thanked director Hansal Mehta, the makers, and her co-stars Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma for being a part of her life's chapter 2.

"Thankyou @hansalmehta @abundantiaent #vikrammalhotra @aktalkies @nirenbhatt @anilskapoor @itsvijayvarma for being a part of my chapter2", she went on to add.

Rhea's last release was back in 2021 with Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi's "Chehre".

Rhea's life was left upside down after the sudden demise of her then partner, Sushant Singh Rajput, in 2020. She was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in September 2020.

In recent years, Rhea has been a part of the reality show "MTV Roadies" as a gang leader.

She even started her own podcast with the name, "Chapter 2".

Coming back to "Family Business", the teaser features Anil Kapoor as the head of a multi-billion-dollar company, with Vijay Varma as one of his loyal and hardworking employees. However, the story gains momentum when Anil fires Vijay, leading to a power struggle.

Good to see her back on screen. She's a talented actress and the whole SSR episode derailed her career unfairly. Hope this new show is a hit.

While I'm happy she's getting work, I can't forget the serious allegations from that time. The legal process happened, but the public memory is long. Let's see if her acting can make us look past it.

Her Instagram post is so heartfelt. Coming to Bombay at 17 with just a dream... that's the story of so many. Life threw her a massive curveball. More power to her for picking herself up. 💪

Interesting casting with Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma. Both are powerhouse performers. If Hansal Mehta is directing, the content will be solid. Will definitely give it a watch.

The way the media and public hounded her was a national shame. We lost one talented actor (SSR), and almost destroyed another. Hope she finds peace and success in this new chapter.
