Rhea Chakraborty headlined following the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.
She has since bid adieu to acting to start clothing brand and achieved valuation of Rs 40 crore in less than a year
After Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, actress Rhea Chakraborty launched her podcast Chapter 2 and then a clothing brand Chapter 2 Drip in 2024.
Rhea Chakraborty now owns a company worth Rs 40 crore.
Notedly, the year 2020 wasn’t only the year the COVID-19 pandemic began, but also a year in which India lost several beloved celebrities, including Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor, and Sushant Singh Rajput. Though Irfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor passed away after prolonged illnesses, Rajput’s death by suicide triggered intense media scrutiny and sparked numerous conspiracy theories. His girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, faced a wave of public backlash and, amid the controversy, stepped away from acting to rebuild her life.
Part of that rebuilding was the launch of her podcast, Chapter 2, which eventually inspired her to create her clothing brand, Chapter 2 Drip. The idea was rooted in giving life a second chance, drawing inspiration from people who have endured their darkest days and still managed to start anew. This philosophy guided Rhea and her brother, Showik, as they transformed the concept into a brand that today carries an estimated valuation of Rs 40 crore.
