Richa Chadha: I want to tell women that you can multi-task

After successfully paving her way in an industry as competitive as Bollywood, Richa Chadha is concentrating on other constructive forms of works as well. She recently turned producer with a Punjabi short film titled ‘Khoon Aali Chithi’, and is venturing into her own business soon.

She, however, considers herself an effortless actress and emphasises that acting comes to her naturally. She would rather work on things like writing which would demand her hard-work in order to be mastered.

“This is the time when we need more female business persons, female business leaders and female producers. Women who have financial power, women who are not getting married because they think if there is husband, money will be pumped in…I want to break these myths and stereotypes,” Richa told Firstpost, in a conversation.

“I want to inspire women, I want to be that kind of role model and not somebody who’s just modelling and selling products and beckoning people with, ‘Hey, Look at my shoes’. Ya, you can look at my shoes, My shoes will always look great. But look at the other things I am doing. I want to inspire people, I want to tell women that you can multi-task, all you have to do is budget your time correctly,” she added.

Richa will be next seen in ‘Love Sonia’, a film that marks a woman’s journey through an international sex trafficking racket.
