In an interview with Filmygyan, Richa Chadha—who is renowned for speaking her mind—exposed that she lost movies to star kids or celebrities’ girlfriends despite repeatedly trying out for the part.Richa, who has been receiving appreciation for her impromptu portrayal of Lajjo in Heeramandi, spoke about her difficult journey into the industry. Recalling a “heartbreaking” experience, Richa told Filmygyan that, following four rounds of auditions, she was ultimately replaced at the last minute by a starkid, or a celebrity’s girlfriend. She stated, “It was heartbreaking losing the part even after working hard and not getting the opportunity.”
Richa Chadha shares the unpleasant experiences she has encountered in the indusrty from time to time. A couple of months ago, Richa talked about when she was offered the role of Hrithik Roshan’s mother. Calling it an injustice to the senior actors, Richa told ABP Live, “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 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.”
