There is so much more to Richa Chadha than meets the eye. The actress has carved a unique space for herself in the industry with some brilliant performances to her credit right from ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Masaan’, ‘Fukrey’ to ‘Shakeela’. From taking a stand on matters that make a difference, to being vocal about issues of ageism, sexism, gender bias and more, Richa says it like it is. In today’s Big Interview, we touch upon different facets of Richa's life as she spills the beans on her career, the love of her life Ali Fazal, turning producer and more. Excerpts…
Ali Fazal has been making waves on the international front. How proud does that make you?
It certainly makes me very proud. Although many actors have explored opportunities in Hollywood, not many Indian actors have bagged lead roles. Ali has been receiving appreciation from all sides. There is a lot of diversity in him. On one side, he is doing ‘Death on the Nile’ and on the other side, he is pulling off a desi character like Guddu in ‘Mirzapur’. He has got an opportunity to experiment with his craft and he is doing a really good job.
