Mother's Day: Rhea Chakraborty & Brother Showik Wish Their Mom, Actress Recalls The Advise Carried Her Through Life

Making Mother’s Day special for their mom, Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty took to social media to celebrate the occasion. The siblings posted throwback pictures from their childhood days to wish their mom Sandhya Chakraborty.

The actress who has been active on social media recently trying to support to the Covid-19 relief efforts, penned a special note with a picture from a childhood birthday celebration. The Jalebi actress wrote, “My beautiful Maa, I remember you said this to me when I was a little girl – ‘Happiness is within you, don’t look for it outside, find love in your heart and you’ll be a happy girl forever!’ This carried me through life Maa, I promise I am trying my best ❤️ Happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers , we love you.”

Rhea’s friend and actress Shibani Dandekar lovingly commented on the post and wished Sandhya on Mother’s Day, “Happy mother’s day Sandy we love you so much,” she wrote.

Showik, on the other hand, shared another old picture with their mom which also featured Rhea and wrote, “Thank you for giving me the best gift in life- unconditional love. Happy Mother’s Day maa, you’re my strength.”

Rhea’s mother stood up for her kids last year after they were arrested in a drug case related to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, who was Rhea’s boyfriend. Talking to Times of India in 2020, Rhea’s mother had expressed concern about her children and said, “I can’t sleep on the bed anymore when my children are suffering in jail. I can’t eat. I wake up in the middle of the night, gripped by a fear of the next thing that could go wrong. My family’s not just been pushed to a corner, it’s been destroyed. At one point I thought the only way to end it was by ending my life. I’m not this kind of a person, you know. I’ve sought therapy for myself. Now when these feelings appear, I keep reminding myself I need to be there for my children. They’re going through far worse.”

Bothe Rhea and Showik were later released on bail.
