Rhea shared, "7 years. It’s actually really bizarre and surreal, almost. I didn’t expect to act ever again. It’s unreal in a way because it’s like a dream, right? This was my dream when I was 17, and then all of that happened, and I stopped getting work, and I had to stop living this dream. And then you are back on it, but you have changed a lot because now you have a different career, and now in many ways it doesn’t mean as much to you, but in many ways it still means more than it ever did (sic)."

"7 years have passed since I went to set ..But I’m still the same girl who came to Bombay at 17 with a dream to be an actor. A part of me moved on, but a part of me stayed and waited. And I’m here, once again in my chapter2...It seems 'Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans'," the Jalebi actor added.
