Actress Rhea Chakraborty started her day with her rumored boyfriend, billionaire businessman Nikhil Kamath. Several photos and videos of the couple surfaced on social media on Saturday, capturing their casual outing in Mumbai. In one video shared by a paparazzi on Instagram, Rhea is seen riding as a pillion passenger on Nikhil’s bike. However, the actress faced criticism for not wearing a helmet during the ride.
Rhea’s Casual Look Draws Attention
For the outing, Rhea kept it casual yet stylish. She wore a cropped rust-colored top under a denim jacket, paired with purple pants. The actress also sported a face mask, carried a bag, and opted for sandals. Rhea tied her hair in a ponytail but skipped the helmet, which led to several fans pointing out the safety oversight.
Nikhil Kamath, on the other hand, was seen in a black jacket and shorts. He adhered to safety norms by wearing a helmet and a face mask. Throughout the ride, Rhea was spotted interacting with Nikhil and even placed her hand on his leg, showcasing their comfort with each other.
Social Media Reactions
The video quickly garnered attention on social media, with many users commenting on Rhea’s decision to not wear a helmet. One user questioned, “Helmet? Is there any special rule for that?” Another sarcastically asked, “The pillion rider doesn’t need a helmet?” A few others simply expressed concern, with one user saying, “Just because it’s Rhea, no helmet is required?” Another commented, “Hey sister, you should have worn a helmet.”
Rhea’s Podcast Debut: ‘Chapter 2’
Last month, Rhea Chakraborty made her podcast debut with Chapter 2. In the podcast, she reflected on her life and journey, stating, “Everyone knows my ‘Chapter One’, or assumes they know it. I went through many phases of feeling different emotions and being different versions of myself. In the end, I feel more like myself—rather, a new version, reborn. I want to celebrate it with a man who has ‘Chapter 2’. I want to say that it’s okay to have a second chapter, to move forward in life, and to start again. I want to celebrate change.”
Rhea’s words resonated with many listeners, especially given the challenges she has faced in the past few years.
Rhea’s Past Relationship with Sushant Singh Rajput
Rhea Chakraborty’s personal life was thrust into the limelight following the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, with whom she was in a relationship. After Sushant’s death in 2020, Rhea faced intense scrutiny from the media and public. She was arrested in a drug-related case linked to the investigation into Sushant’s death in September 2020. However, she was granted bail in October 2020.
Earlier this year, a special court in Mumbai under the NDPS Act permitted Rhea to travel abroad for a short vacation with her family. The trip to Thailand marked a break from the difficult times she had endured in the past few years.
Who Is Nikhil Kamath?
Nikhil Kamath, Rhea’s rumored boyfriend, is a prominent businessman and one of the youngest billionaires in India, with a net worth exceeding Rs 9,000 crore. Nikhil co-founded Zerodha, one of the largest stock brokerage firms in the country. His personal life has also been in the spotlight; he married Amanda Poorvankara in 2019, but the marriage faced challenges, and the couple decided to divorce in 2021.
