Rhea Chakraborty on her struggle
In the show, Rhea said that people told her many things. However, she said she won’t accept those labels as she cannot keep thinking about what others say about her.
She said that she won’t let others dictate her life and added, “A lot of people will say a lot of things. I have been labelled with many names, and many things have been said about me. But will I accept those labels? Kya main unke wajah se apne life mein rukungi? Bilkul bhi nahi… Let them go. Kaun hai woh (Why should I stop living my life because of others? Not at all. Who are they) ?”

A contestant, who was an athlete, shared the story of her abusive relationship and what she faced because of her skin colour. Her story left the gang leaders in tears, including Rhea. Rhea motivated her saying, “Nothing is wrong with your colour, you are absolutely beautiful and strong. You deserve the best in life and jo bhi aapke sath hua, woh aapki galti nahi hai, unki galti hai (Whatever bad has happened to you is because of them).”
