Rhea Chakraborty Reveals Earning THIS HEFTY Amount At Age Of 17, Says, 'Thought I Was DAMN RICH'

Rhea Chakraborty has been in the public eye for years, but her journey began much before she became an established actress. From starting out as an MTV VJ as a teenager to eventually venturing into entrepreneurship with her brand Chapter 2, Rhea has experienced several phases in her professional life. Now, the actress has shared an interesting detail about her early career and the salary she received while working with MTV.

Rhea recently appeared on comedian Tanmay Bhat’s YouTube channel as part of the promotions for Chapter 2. During the conversation, which also featured Aaditya Kulshreshth aka Kullu, Rohan Joshi and Kushagra Srivastavaa, the actress spoke about her teenage years, her entry into the entertainment industry and some of the experiences that came with becoming a VJ at such a young age.

While discussing her initial years in showbiz, Rhea recalled that Salman Khan was the first celebrity she ever met. The conversation then moved towards her time as a Video Jockey on MTV, which marked one of the earliest milestones in her career.

Rhea looked back at the era with humour and made a comment about how the entertainment industry functioned at the time. She said, "There was a time when only good looking people were allowed to speak."

Her remark prompted Tanmay to ask about the kind of money VJs could make during those days. Rhea then revealed that she was earning a substantial amount despite being only 17 or 18 years old. Sharing the figure, she said, "I think 3 Lakh was my last salary but I was just 17-18 years old. so, I really thought I was damn rich."

The revelation came as a surprise to the panel, particularly because of how young Rhea was when she was earning the amount. She also went on to reveal how she viewed and spent the money she made during that period.

Taking the conversation in a more humorous direction, Rhea pointed towards her appearance while comparing an older picture of herself with her current look. She candidly claimed that she had used some of her earnings for "lifting her face", a revelation that instantly had the panelists laughing.

Rhea then continued discussing cosmetic procedures and the advancements in technology, sharing her opinion on why people should consider them if they wish to. She added, "Everyone should get their face lift. Technology is next level now. There is everything..."

From beginning her career as a teenager to building a career across television, films and now entrepreneurship, Rhea has clearly experienced several transformations over the years. Her candid conversation with Tanmay Bhat also offered a glimpse into her early days in the entertainment industry, including just how financially successful her stint as an MTV VJ was at such a young age.
