Rhea Chakraborty on the witch-hunt she faced during Sushant Singh Rajput’s death investigation
During her appearance on India Today Conclave, Rhea Chakraborty opened up about her new version and mentioned that Rhea 2.0 is poles apart from the older one. She also shared that she likes the name ‘Chudail’, which people gave her after Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise and revealed the reason behind the same. Elaborating on the same, the actress said:
“I kind of like the name Chudail. I think it is interesting. Back in the day, who was a witch? A witch was a woman who did not subscribe to the patriarchal society or had her own way, her own opinion that was against the popular opinion of men and patriarchal back then. She had her opinion and her own thoughts. Maybe I am that person, maybe I am a chudail, maybe I know how to do black magic.”
