Rhea Chakraborty was spotted spending time with her rumored boyfriend, entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath, as they were seen riding through Mumbai on a bike. The duo was captured in several pictures and videos that surfaced on social media. In one of the videos shared by a paparazzo on Instagram, Rhea was seen riding pillion on Nikhil’s bike.
For the outing, Rhea opted for a casual yet stylish look, wearing a cropped rust top under a denim jacket paired with purple pants. She accessorized with a mask, a bag, and sandals, and wore her hair in a ponytail. Notably, Rhea did not wear a helmet, which drew some attention and comments online. Nikhil, on the other hand, was dressed in a black jacket and shorts, and he wore both a face mask and a helmet while riding the bike.
The video led to some online criticism, with users questioning why Rhea wasn’t wearing a helmet. Comments ranged from “Helmet? Any special rule for her?” to “Pillion rider doesn’t require a helmet?” indicating public concern over road safety regulations.
Rhea Chakraborty has been working on rebuilding her life after facing intense scrutiny and legal troubles following the death of her boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, in 2020. Recently, Rhea made her podcast debut with Chapter 2, where she spoke about moving on and embracing new beginnings. She described her journey as a “rebirth” and emphasized the importance of starting anew in life.
Following Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic death in June 2020, Rhea was arrested in a drugs-related case linked to his demise. She was granted bail in October 2020, and earlier this year, a special court allowed her to travel abroad for a short holiday with her family.
The case surrounding Sushant’s death, which was initially investigated by the Mumbai police as an Accidental Death Report (ADR), took a significant turn when Sushant’s father filed a complaint against Rhea and her family, accusing them of abetting his suicide. The investigation and the media coverage around it had a profound impact on Rhea’s life and career.
