Rhea Chakraborty turned 29 today. Like any other celebrity, Rhea has had her fair share of experiences before venturing into Bollywood. The young actor established her place in the industry with movies like Jalebi, Sonali Cable and Bank Chor. But, for the uninformed, Rhea didn't kickstart her career with Bollywood. Even before she turned an actress, her first-ever stint was as a contestant on a teen show named MTV Teen Diva.

Rhea came into the limelight after this show. She was the runner up with Apeksha Porwal taking the title of Teen Diva home. But, Rhea rose to fame from this point. She became the face of MTV and was hired as a VJ by the brand. She was also the youngest host on the channel, and she did shows like Gone In 60 seconds, Tic-Tac College Beat, and Pepsi MTV Wassup.
Today on the occasion of her birthday, let's take a look at Rhea's journey in the industry.

1. Rhea was born in Bangalore, Karnataka, but since her dad was in the army, her family travelled to different cities. She spent most of her time in Ambala, where she also started her education. It was 2009 when Rhea first participated in MTV Teen Diva. Since she was only 17, she mentioned in an interview that she would take her books on the sets as she was studying simultaneously.

2. After being the first runner up and participating as VJ on MTV, she was recognised for her talent amongst the young people. In one of the episodes of Gone in 60 Seconds, Ayushmann and VJ Jose had to imitate Bollywood actors and say I love You, Rhea. It was quite a fun video!
In another fun video, we saw Bani J and Rhea promote Wildcraft bags. She indeed seemed adept at it.

3. Rhea's first debut movie wasn't in Bollywood. In fact, she was a part of a Telugu movie, Tuneega Tuneega, in 2012. The next year, she ventured into Bollywood with Mere Dad Ki Maruti, which unfortunately tanked at the box office.
An unknown fact about her is that Rhea had also auditioned for Band Baaja Baarat. Sadly she was rejected, but since she was persistent, she bagged smaller roles in music videos, and one of them was Ayushmann Khurrana's song, O Heeriye.

5. Rhea's name came up often in 2020 due to Sushant Singh Rajput's case, but the actress didn't lose her spirit and continued to fight the battle. After a long break from movies, Rhea will be seen in a mystery thriller, Chehre, directed by Rumi Jaffrey. The movie cast also includes Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi.
