Rhea Chakraborty is steadily building her empire after Sushant Singh Rajput's death scandal in 2020. She and her brother, Showik, were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the drugs case after SSR's demise. This year, they were given a clean chit by the CBI in the matter. In an interview with CNBC TV18, Rhea spoke about building her brand with brother Showik which is estimated to be valued at Rs 38-40 crore.
Rhea reflected on what prompted her to start her own clothing brand. She said, 'When we went through the tragedy that we went through, we both lost our careers." She continued, 'I stopped getting any acting work and Showik had got 96 percentile in CAT, but that's the same time that he got arrested. When he came back out, the first trimester was already lost and so was his MBA career his future planning."

Job scam busted: 4 arrested, Rs 6 lakh recovered
Vizianagaram: The Vizianagaram One Town police busted a major job racket that duped several unemployed youth by promising jobs in the State Secretariat. Police arrested four members of the gang and recovered Rs 6 lakh from them. A total of nine individuals have been identified as accused in the case. Disclosing the details at a press conference held at One Town police station on Saturday, Vizianagaram DSP M Srinivas Rao revealed that the gang had collected Rs 53 lakh from seven victims across various districts, including Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, Jangareddygudem, and Vizianagaram. Each victim paid between Rs 5 to Rs 8 lakh, hoping to secure a government job in AP Secretariat. The gang operated by creating fake appointment letters and ID cards, and even took the victims to Velagapudi Secretariat in Amaravati. Sujeeth, a key accused from Pradeep Nagar in Vizianagaram, played a major role by keeping the victims at a hotel near the Secretariat for a week, providing meals, and convincing them that their appointments were genuine. The victims believed they had secured jobs until they discovered the addresses mentioned in the appointment letters were fake. Realizing they had been duped, they approached the police. The investigation began following a complaint filed by Vinod, a resident of Dharmavaram in S Kota mandal. Acting on the complaint, CI Srinivas and SI Prasanna Kumar of One Town Police traced and apprehended the culprits. The arrested individuals have been identified as Mahesh (Vizianagaram), Rubin (Jangareddygudem), John (Eluru), and Yakub. The prime accused, Sujeeth, is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital with illness. DSP said that they are searching for the other accused and will be caught soon.
