Her temporary but impactful look as a heartbroken girl on the trail of self-destruction, was a problem the actor took upon herself.
“Lajwanti was diametrically opposite to what I have ever played before. I was aware where this character was heading. My effort was it humanise the experience for whoever’s watching the show to feel a gut punch, through what this woman was going through. She was a hopeless character, with no motivation, but somewhere all needed was love, and a normal life, unlike the others who had an agenda.”
Heermandi being Richa Chadha’s second collaboration with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after Ram Leela, says he not solely introduced out one of the best in her but in addition helps her discover the character with him. “You get a lot of breathing space, how it is a matter of the heart and has to be told in a certain way. I like pushing myself that way with him. He also realizes the hunger in an actor who is willing to go past all boundaries, he pushes you more,”
Richa’s breakthrough in Bollywood got here with Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur, because the foul-mouthed spouse of a gangster. This was quickly adopted by the critically acclaimed Masaan and hits just like the Fukrey Franchise.

A current comment by dancer turned actor Nora Fatehi, who went on report to say that feminism has damage society, and emphasised ladies’s function as nurturers, was severely criticised by ladies throughout the board. Most of the main feminine actors like Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and mother-to-be Deepika Padukone have espoused that ladies might be moms in addition to have flourishing careers. Calling Nora Fatehi’s comment a misguided response, in addition to not an actual understanding of the time period.
“You know, the cute thing about feminism is that it accepts those that seek the benefits of feminism, but deny being a feminist. The reason why someone can have a career, choose what they want to wear, and work where they want to be independent have those choices is because of feminism, and because of predecessors who decided that women need to be out there working jobs, not just being at home. I wonder if it’s because you want to be accepted more by certain male members or be more entrenched in the patriarchy”, she ponders.
