In an interview with Variety India, Rhea was asked if she has forgiven the media for spinning the narrative about her during the SSR case, citing how Aryan keeps away from the media and how their stories were very similar in terms of the charges.
To which she stated that she did reach out to Aryan. “When I saw what Aryan was going through, it took me back because it was spectacularly similar. In fact, more than my story, it looked a lot like Showikâs (brother) story. They also have a resemblance. It was very, very hard to watch. I did not speak to the media many times, and I still do not.”
The actress stated during her arrest, it was not cool to support her as anyone who supported her would get trolled and lose job opportunities, making it miserable for them.
“Shibani, Nidhi, Anisha, Samisha, and Anusha, my girlfriends, really held fort. I also had Saqib Saleem and Huma. Saqib supported my parents a lot when Showik and I were in jail. I have been blessed to have these people in my life. If you have one true friend, that is enough to go through anything,” she added.
Work Front
The actress will star next in Family Business, which will premiere on Netflix, marking her acting comeback.
