Mumbai’s entertainment scene is buzzing with excitement as actress Rhea Chakraborty marks her grand comeback to the silver screen after a seven-year hiatus. In a heartfelt Instagram video shared on Wednesday, Rhea expressed her overwhelming joy and nostalgia about stepping back onto a film set.
Visibly emotional, Rhea reflected on the long gap, saying it’s been seven years since she last worked on a set. Yet, her passion for acting remains undimmed. ‘It’s been seven years since I stepped on a set, but I’m still that 17-year-old girl who came to Mumbai dreaming of becoming an actor,’ she captioned the video. ‘Part of me moved on, but another part waited right there, and now I’m back—starting Chapter 2 of my life.’
She poignantly added, ‘Life is what happens when we’re busy making other plans,’ echoing a timeless truth that resonates with her journey.
Fans have flooded the comments with love and support, celebrating her resilience. Rhea’s career began young; she rose to fame as a VJ on MTV’s ‘Teen Diva’ in 2009. Her acting debut came with the Telugu film ‘Tuniga Tuniga’ in 2012, followed by her Bollywood entry in ‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’ in 2013. She starred in several films and TV shows before taking this extended break.
Rhea is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix web series ‘Family Business,’ a gripping corporate drama woven around power struggles, family bonds, and betrayal. Directed by the acclaimed Hansal Mehta, the series boasts a stellar cast including Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma, who share the screen for the first time.
