In a recent interview, Richa recalled how on the sets of her debut film, she faced discrimination.

Chaddha alleged all her belongings were thrown out of the vanity van by a co-actor’s team. She told Pinkvilla, “It’s happened several times with me. In fact, in my first film, there was an incident that made me feel really bad. I had come straight from college to do a scene in Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, and I had a 103-104 fever.”

“I was told that someone is going to come late, so till then I can use this particular vanity van, and for the whole day, I would anyway be shooting. So I got ready and left, but in the meantime someone came, their staff threw all my stuff.”

Richa further shared that the items that were destroyed belonged to the makeup artist and she was really disappointed because of it. She said, “I looked at how terrible it was. I didn’t have my own makeup and hair material, they belonged to the company itself. But they threw the stuff, and someone’s lipstick got damaged, someone’s mirror broke – so I felt really bad. How can they do this?”

She continued, “Other people have spent money, this is their investment, it’s their daily bread and butter. You can’t do this with someone, but these things happen. Thankfully, I think now because of social media and everyone has a camera in their phones, people are aware of these things, but it does happen sadly.”

“Unka phir hota kuch nahin hai, those who behave like this.”

For the unversed, Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! starred Abhay Deol in the lead featuring Paresh Rawal, Neetu Chandra, Manu Rishi, Manjot Singh and Archana Puran Singh in pivotal roles. Directed by Dibakar Banerjee, the film won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film.
