Rhea Chakraborty says she earned about ₹3 lakh per month when she worked as an MTV video jockey in her late teens. Speaking on a YouTube conversation while promoting her brand, she recalls feeling “damn rich” because she was 17–18 at the time and viewed the salary as unusually high.
She also says she spent part of that money on cosmetic procedures, describing it as “lifting her face” and comparing older pictures with more recent ones. In the same discussion, she reflects on how VJs and on-air standards were perceived during that period and later transitioned into films and other entertainment work. Both outlets frame the comments as part of her recent media appearances and do not provide independent verification of the exact salary figure.
The accounts differ mainly in emphasis: one focuses on her broader career path and her upcoming participation in “The Traitors 2,” while the other highlights the details of the conversation, including the context of her interview and promotion of her brand.
