Netflix recently celebrated its 10 years in the country and, to commemorate the occasion, announced more than 20 new movies and shows. One of them was the series Family Business that marked the return of actress Rhea Chakraborty, who has not worked for seven years. She recently took to social media to share her gratitude and what this chapter in her career means to her.
Rhea posted a video on Instagram, where she can be seen getting ready for some kind of event, presumably the Family Business announcement event. The title of the video read, “It’s been 7 years since I went to the set, but I’m still the same girl who came to Mumbai at the age of 17 with the dream of being an actress. A part of me moved on, but a part of me stayed and waited. And here I am, once again in my chapter 2. It seems like ‘life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.'”
In the video, Rhea Chakraborty can be heard talking about how this is a “surreal” experience for her and that she never thought about acting again. She said: “I have made a film after 7 years. 2019 was the last time I filmed for Chehre, and now my next show is coming out. It’s actually very strange, it’s almost surreal. I didn’t expect to ever act 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 that happened and I stopped getting work.”
The successful businessman “I had to not keep living this dream. And again, you’re back in it, but you’ve changed a lot. Because you have a different career now. In a lot of ways it doesn’t mean as much to you, but in a lot of ways it still means more than before, right? This is the kind of entertainment that’s written. Well, that was written, too.”
The cast of Family Business also includes Anil Kapoor, Vijay Varma, Dhruv Sehgal, Neha Dhupia, Raima Sen, Akash Khurana, Apara Mehta, Nandish Sandhu, Anant Nag, Rohan Vinod Mehra, Tina Desai, Kanwaljit Singh, Madhoo and Inayat Sood.
