In a notable sighting that quickly gained traction on social media, actor Rhea Chakraborty was seen riding pillion on a motorbike driven by Nikhil Kamath, the co-founder of Zerodha. The incident occurred on a crisp Saturday morning, and it has sparked fresh speculation about their rumored relationship. With both individuals known for their high profiles, the outing has ensured a renewed focus on their personal lives.
The rumors about their relationship have been swirling for some time. As they leisurely rode through the city, paparazzi were quick to identify them, capturing numerous pictures and videos. These images have now spread like wildfire on various social media platforms, evoking widespread curiosity and discussion.
In the circulating videos, Rhea Chakraborty is seen donning a stylish ensemble consisting of a cropped top, a denim jacket, and purple pants. To complete her look, she opted for a black face mask, matching sandals, and carried a casual bag. Her hair, tied in a no-fuss ponytail, allowed her to maintain a low profile as she navigated the watchful eyes and flashing cameras of the ever-present paparazzi. Kamath was similarly low-key in his attire, wearing blue shorts, a riding jacket, a face mask, and a white helmet, ensuring he adhered to safety protocols while maintaining an air of anonymity.
This public appearance comes at a significant time for Rhea Chakraborty, who has been focusing on rebuilding her career and personal life after enduring a turbulent couple of years. She was previously in a relationship with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, whose tragic death in 2020 led to severe public and legal scrutiny for Rhea. Rajput’s family accused her of abetment to suicide, a charge she staunchly denied. Concurrently, she became embroiled in a drug investigation by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) that followed Rajput’s death. This intense legal drama saw Rhea spending a month in jail, making headlines and facing a public trial by media.
Despite these challenges, Rhea Chakraborty has shown resilience and is now turning over a new leaf. Last month, she ventured into the world of podcasts with ‘Chapter 2,’ where she explores themes of personal growth, resilience, and starting anew. The podcast’s name signifies her transition to a new phase in her life, an effort she also manifested by launching her own clothing brand with the same name, ‘Chapter 2,’ in collaboration with her brother Showik. The brand aims to symbolize new beginnings and remind others that it is always possible to start fresh.

On her podcast, Rhea offers an unfiltered glimpse into her personal journey, complete with its highs and lows. She explained, “Everybody knows my ‘chapter one’, or assumes that they know it. I went through a lot of phases of feeling different emotions, being different versions of myself. Finally, I am feeling more me, but a newer version, like a rebirth. And I want to celebrate that with anyone who has a ‘chapter two’. I want to say that it is okay to have a chapter two, to start again, to move on in life. I want to celebrate change.”
Furthermore, Rhea discussed an intriguing aspect of her experience, which she referred to as a ‘superpower’—her ability to polarize any room she enters. “I often joke that I have a big superpower. I enter a room and I can polarize it! Half of them would think, ‘She has done something, she is a witch, she practices black magic,’ and the other half would think, ‘She’s a strong girl who fought through it, she had courage.’ I can sense it the moment I enter a room. I will experience this at the dentist’s clinic, the gym, the airport. This has also made me understand that it doesn’t matter. Those who love you, great, those who hate you, that’s also okay, it doesn’t matter,” she expounded.
Rhea’s candid reflections on her podcast provide a poignant counter-narrative to the often sensationalized coverage she has received. As she embarks on this new chapter of her life, her recent sighting with Nikhil Kamath signals a personal and professional renaissance.
As Rhea Chakraborty and Nikhil Kamath’s rumored relationship continues to generate buzz, both individuals seem to be focusing on what lies ahead. For Rhea, it’s about moving forward and building a new life post-tragedy and turmoil, while continuing to engage with her fans in a meaningful way.
