Rhea Chakraborty has ventured into new territory with the launch of her podcast and fashion label, both under the banner ‘Chapter 2’, marking a fresh start in her personal and professional journey. The actor, alongside her brother Showik Chakraborty, has embraced entrepreneurship, turning a difficult chapter in her life into an opportunity for growth.

In a recent interview, Rhea shared the inspiration behind ‘Chapter 2’, saying, “I decided to start my own podcast and speak with people I wanted to connect with. From there, Showik and I began talking about starting a business together.” The decision to create a clothing label stemmed from a deeply personal moment. “Clothing can empower. It spoke for me when I couldn’t speak for myself,” she added, explaining how a simple T-shirt became a symbol of self-expression during her toughest times.

Rhea emphasized the power of clothing as a form of self-expression, adding, “I resonated with it, it spoke for me when I couldn’t speak for myself. Why not empower people through clothing? And then we decided to come with Chapter 2 clothing and then Chapter 2, just became an idea as we felt like what is this phase we’re in, it feels like a new phase; a new chapter, let’s just call it Chapter 2.”

The latest episode of her podcast featured Bollywood star Aamir Khan, with the two engaging in a heartfelt discussion on topics like grief, balance, and embracing imperfections.

Meanwhile, her fashion label has been gaining traction, with stars like Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan spotted donning pieces from the collection in support of her new venture. 
‘Chapter 2’ continues to grow in popularity, combining meaningful conversations with a stylish statement, as Rhea embarks on this new phase of her life.
