It was recently reported that Richa Chadha will soon be taking on to the stage for a stand up collaboration. Looks like it is all coming together for her! The actress has now been selected to helm the panel of a brand new English reality show which is all set to be made for TLC India titled Queens of Comedy. Sharing the panel with her will be renowned comedians, Rohan Joshi from AIB and popular female comedian Kaneez Surka.

The show is said to be a tad bit unique since it is the official hunt to find India's next big female comedian. Considering the ongoing debate about the lack of female comedians in the stand-up comedy scene, the show aims to bring about a change in the perception towards them. It is to be shot in August and will go on air later this year.

While we haven’t seen her doing much comedy on the silver screen, let us remind you that one of her most popular roles in her career was that of Bholi Punjaban that she played in the comedy film Fukrey. In fact, a sequel to the same is currently in the making and Richa will reprise the role in the second instalment too. The film is slated to release in December.
