After a hiatus of nearly seven months, Rhea Chakraborty finally made her comeback on social media with a post dedicated to her mother, Sandhya Chakraborty, on International Women's Day. In the picture shared by Rhea, she is seen holding her mother's hand. "Happy Women’s Day to us ..Maa and me .. together forever ... my strength, my faith, my fortitude - my Maa #love #faith #fortitude #strength #mother #womenwhoinspire #womenempowerment," she wrote. Her post got her support from Sussanne Khan and Shibani Dandekar, who shared heart emojis in the comments section. "Happy Women’s Day Love you truly represent a beautiful & strong person that you are," read a comment. A fan wrote, "Take care Rhea, stay strong and never lose hope!" Another person wrote, "Welcome back to insta @rhea_chakraborty."One wrote, "Welcome back beautiful." "Stop blaming her. She is innocent. She didn’t do anything. She had already suffered a lot," wrote another. One more wrote, "Welcome back always with you." Amid all the allegations and controversies, Rhea has been keeping it low-key on social media and otherwise. When Rhea was taken into judicial custody, many come out in support of her, but there were also a few who slammed and lashed out at her and alleged that she is the reason behind Sushant's death.
Rhea and Sushant started dating in April 2019 but kept their relationship under wraps. It was only after his death that Rhea confessed about their relationship. Rhea has been accused by her late boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput's family of abetting his suicide and misappropriating his funds. Sushant died on June 14. His death is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau are investigating the financial and drugs angles in the case, respectively. Her mother was worried about her well being when the actor was arrested. She had told The Times of India, “What she has gone through... how will she heal from this? But she is a fighter and she must be strong.” She continued, “I’ll have to put her on therapy to help her get over this trauma and reclaim her life.” Sandhya had added, “I can’t sleep on the bed anymore when my children are suffering in jail. I can’t eat. I wake up in the middle of the night, gripped by a fear of the next thing that could go wrong. My family’s not just been pushed to a corner, it’s been destroyed. At one point I thought the only way to end it was by ending my life. I’m not this kind of a person, you know. I’ve sought therapy for myself. Now when these feelings appear, I keep reminding myself I need to be there for my children. They’re going through far worse.”
