Richa Chadha returns to shoot-life after 6 months

Returning to the real world after a 6 month plus lockdown is emotionally daunting. Even as actors realise that projects and everyone associated (including daily wage workers) are dependent on them, it’s not an easy decision to go back with the Covid-pandemic threat looming over us. But Richa Chadha decided that it’s time we start our lives again.

As an untitled project with a well-known filmmaker came calling, the actress went back to shoot last week for a short schedule. Meeting her staff was both emotional and strange because she was seeing them after so long and yet not has the satisfaction of giving them a hug. Richa’s experience on a film set recently was smooth.

Walking us through her experience, she says, “Actors are obliged to keep everyone entertained. Despite the nonsensical attacks on the film industry, everyone is watching stuff we created from the safety of their homes right? I believe it provides livelihood to so many people that the audience isn’t aware of. We have a responsibility towards all those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, the scores of people who have been battling a rough financial time due to the pandemic.
