Rhea Chakraborty
A Hell of a Woman

Rhea Chakraborty is, I would say, a hell of a woman.
Why? Well, let’s find out.
Now in pulp crime fiction, a pretty worn out and yet still popular theme is take a sultry, seductive woman character, twirl her life around a heinous crime — and by God — the readers will be hooked till the end of the book.
And what happened with Rhea Chakraborty was no less than a pulp itself. A pulp reality. A pulp written by Goswami kind of pseudo-journalists, social media users and politicians. Even police made some baffling decisions.
So all these people twirled her around a crime to create a gripping story. Most did it intentionally to profit off it, some did under the influence of others, many did due to the heightened emotions, and the rest did simply because they didn’t want to be left out of the craziest story in the history of this country.
And the craziest part of this whole story was — the crime had never even happened. The crime was invented out of the sad, distressing and tragic end of her lover’s life. Now some of you would still say — “But it’s under investigation,” and I would say — “Hypocrites. If it’s under investigation, how can you call her a murderer?”
So you have a beautiful woman and you have built this story of crime around her…
