New Delhi:

Actress Richa Chadha, who has by no means shied away from taking over versatile roles in the middle of her performing journey, not too long ago revealed in an interview with ABPLive that there was a time when she was supplied the position of actor Hrithik Roshan’s mom, regardless of him being older than her. Elaborating on the incident, Richa Chadha additionally referred to as out how it isn’t truthful to older artists who have already got restricted work. On being requested if she was indignant on the casting director, Richa Chadha mentioned, “Yes, because I was 21 years old. But someone had told him that I play the role of older women nicely. So, without thinking, he just offered me the role. Later, the actor who actually played that part is a very good artist. So I felt that this is wrong that you are taking young and attractive actors and ageing them.”

She further added, “Not only are you doing a disservice to a young actor, you are also taking away an older actor’s part which is already shrinking.”

To those unversed, in Gangs of Wasseypur, Richa Chadha played an older woman after which she was offered to play Hrithik Roshan’s mom in a movie. On being questioned about her readiness to play an older charcter in the Anurag Kashyap film, the Fukrey actress said, “In Gangs of Wasseypur, I by no means felt that I might be singled out. Everyone’s story was 30-40 years forward. They did not put any highlight on me. Call it our business’s sexism or society’s sexism, they highlighted it. The reality is that Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, Piyush Mishra, all of them had undergone ageing in that movie.”

Richa Chadha’s was final seen in Fukrey 3. She can be subsequent seen in Anubhav Sinha’s Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai.
