Rhea made her Bollywood debut in 2013. She became the center of the news in 2020 after the sudden demise of her boyfriend and Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

On the work front, Rhea will be seen in her upcoming movie Chehre also starring Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi. The movie was scheduled to release in April this year but has been postponed due to the pandemic.
