Rhea Chakraborty said inmates in the women's undertrial prison were treated equally, with "no hierarchy" and everyone reduced to a number. Speaking to Tanmay Bhat about her roughly 27-day jail stay after the 2020 NCB arrest, she said inmates sang, danced and made thecha. Rhea also joked about prison meals and playfully hinted at a book, "Chudail Ka Badla".

After Sushant Singh Rajput's death in June 2020, actress Rhea Chakraborty was arrested in September 2020 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for allegedly supplying marijuana to the late actor. She was in jail for around 27 days before being granted bail. Recently, during an interaction with Tanmay Bhat, the actress revealed some interesting details about the time she spent in jail.

When she was asked what people do in jail for timepass, the actress said, "They sing, they dance, they make thecha."

Further talking about people she met inside the jail, Rhea stated, "People inside jail are better than people outside jail because most people, at least in the undertrial prison for women, are innocent, and there's no hierarchy. Everyone's equal, everyone is a number; there's no name."

When asked if she remembers her number, she first said, 'yes', but then quickly said, 'no'. Further, when she was asked about the food in jail, Rhea said, "Guys, I am writing this book, padh lena." When asked about the name of the book, she quipped, "The book is called Chudail ka badla."
