On Wednesday, World Theatre Day, actress Richa Chadha spoke about how she owes a lot to theatre. “You feel alive when you perform because you have some theatre experience. I would recommend that people treat theatre as an end in itself and not as a stepping stone to films because the journey of theatre is very rewarding,” Richa Chadha Calls Out MakeMyTrip and Air India for Poor Service, Urges Fans To ‘Avoid These Two Scamsters in 2024’.

Richa told IANS. She said working on a play for months and bettering it each time is a “really enriching experience.” “I have found that whenever I have done a play, I have come alive as a performer and feel warmed and charged. After all, theatre is an actor’s medium. So, I owe a lot to theatre and hope to give back.” 

On the work front, Richa will appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut web series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. It also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh. The series explores the cultural reality of Heeramandi, a district, through the stories of courtesans and their patrons, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s.
