Rhea Chakraborty and Rajiv Lakshman
Rhea Chakraborty appears to be keen to step out. She attended buddy Anusha Dandekar's birthday bash, which was attended by Shibani Dandekar and beau Farhan Akhtar, Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman, Ashish Chowdhry and Samita Bangargi. What caught everyone's attention was Rajiv's picture with Chakraborty, which he posted on Instagram stories. He captioned it, "My girl." Chakraborty faced the heat on social media from Sushant Singh Rajput's fans who trolled her for "partying when out on bail."

Later, Rajiv deleted the photograph and shared a statement, which read, "I seem to have created unnecessary trouble with my irresponsible choice of words on a post. Rhea is a dear old friend, and I'm happy to meet her again. I wish her well."
Rajiv's wife Susan shared a group photograph of the guests.
Rhea had been in jail for nearly a month on drugs-related charges linked to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case investigation. Rhea was arrested by the NCB on September 9 in a drug case linked to her boyfriend, actor Sushant's death. The actress was granted bail on October 7, 2020. Her brother Showik continued to remain under custody for a longer period. He was granted bail on December 2.
Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer Satish Maneshinde had said, "We are delighted by the order of the Bombay High Court granting bail to Rhea Chakraborty. Truth and justice have prevailed and ultimately the submissions on facts and law have been accepted by Justice Sarang V Kotwal."
On the work front, Rhea was last seen in Jalebi. The actress was said to be a part of Rumi Jaffery's Chehre, along with Emraan Hashmi, Amitabh Bachchan, Krystle D'Souza, Siddhanth Kapoor, but the release has been delayed.
