After spending almost a month in Mumbai’s Byculla Jail, actress Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail on Wednesday. The Bombay High Court, however, rejected her brother Showik’s plea.
Her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said that she took help of yoga to survive in jail and also conducted yoga classes for other inmates.
"I personally went to a jail to see a client after so many years, because she was hounded, and I wanted to see the condition that she was in. I was fortunate to see that she was in good spirits. She looked after herself in the jail. She used to conduct yoga classes for herself and her jail inmates. She adjusted herself in the jail. She could not get home food because of the pandemic, she lived with the inmates as if she was a commoner. Being an army girl, she fought the conditions like a battle, and she is ready to face any person who is trying to accuse her and harm her interests,” Maneshinde told NDTV.
He said that Rhea Chakraborty was hounded because Sushant Singh Rajput’s family was ‘very vindictive’ towards her.
Referring to her as ‘Bengal tigress’, Maneshinde said that Rhea would fight back to restore her image.
The Narcotics Control Bureau is probing a drug angle related to the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput who was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
The NCB arrested Rhea on September 9.
