With a string of films in her kitty and getting nominated alongside industry veterans at various award functions, actor Richa Chadda is on cloud nine after Gangs of Wasseypur. She is busy enjoying the new phase of her career to the fullest.
“I think it is a great start for me. I am working with some well-known directors. I think I started in a reverse way [from supporting actor to a lead role], but never expected such appreciation,” Richa said. “Normally it takes around five to six years for any actor to get to this position. I consider myself lucky to have been able to experience it at such an early stage.”
Her powerful performance as Nagma in Gangs of Wasseypur has landed her nominations at award functions too.
Asked how much awards matter to her, Richa said, “It feels nice because there is so much competition in today’s times. The awards show that you have been accepted by the industry as well as by the audience.”
“For me, to be nominated alongside veterans like Sridevi is a huge complement and an award in itself,” she added.
