Rhea Chakraborty recently shared that how her friends stood by her parents when she was inside Mumbai’s Byculla Jail following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death on the podcast show of Humans Of Bombay. Rhea said on the show that she noticed her parents and a few friends gained weight after she was released from jail. She told Karishma Mehta, “One of my friends – a couple of friends – they used to drink with my dad and eat food with him every night while we were inside. When I came out, I was like, ‘Why have you gained so much weight? Kameeno, main waha jail mein thi aur tumlog yaha khana khaa rahe ho, weight put on kar rahe ho (I was in jail and you were eating food and putting on weight).’ They were like, ‘No, dude. We were just trying to make uncle-aunty eat and drink and make them feel a little normal.’ And I was like, ‘Oh wow!'”
