Richa’s Bollywood stint sabotaged?

en Bollywood News Richa’s Bollywood stint sabotaged?


It has been pretty much a Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham scenario for Richa Chadda. After gaining accolades from all over for her bravura act in Gangs of Wasseypur, Richa was flying high and was further thrilled to bits when none less than Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani roped her in for Fukrey. However, she almost missed an opportunity to be a part of the film, courtesy a mystery man who was hell bent on sabotaging her stint with Bollywood.


"When Richa was initially offered Fukrey, she was really excited. After all, she was getting to play a pivotal part of a female goon in this Delhi based film. Just when everything was about to be finalized and sealed, an industry insider dissuaded her from doing the film. He instigated her that the part was way too small and inconsequential for her. Since Richa trusted him blindly, she actually went ahead and rejected the film," informs our well placed source.


This decision of hers not just shocked the powers that be at Excel but also the casting director who was instrumental in her bagging the part. He had highly recommended Richa to Farhan & Ritesh and this refusal came out of the blue.


"Meanwhile Richa, who is still learning the games of Bollywood, was further led to believe that the film's script too was weak and it would be only good for her to further stay away. Pretty gullible at that stage of her career, Richa confessed to her inner circle that she was 'wounded' to find a premium production house like Excel choosing her for a walk over part. She just forgot all about the film and moved on," the source adds.


However, to her good fortune, those in the knowhow of the film asked her to give it a second thought and made her realize what she was missing upon.


"On further probing, Richa realized that it wasn't a small part after all and instead was quite pivotal to the film's narrative. She felt that it was quite foolish on her part to have said 'no' after accepting the offer," the source adds, "She pronto approached the film's director Mrigdeep. He too understood the predicament that she had been going through and brought her back in the film with no questions asked."


When contacted, Richa didn't deny the story. "See, people come with their agenda. I guess the person who told me that the role was not good probably wanted his own girlfriend, sister or mother to get in there," says Richa with a tone of sarcasm in her voice, "I know the entire story now but what's the point? I just went back to Excel instead of going to this guy and telling him 'Hey a$$hole, I know what you did'. It is a good experience though and has made me wiser. I now know not to trust someone blindly."


As expected, she refused to share credentials of the person involved. "After this experience, do you think I would like to wash dirty linen in public," she smiled.
