Coming from a non-film background and family, how did you decide to be an actor and get into the industry? Initial struggles you faced?
Ms. Richa Chadha
True that, being an outsider it was difficult to break into the industry especially with the kind of roles I chose to play like my breakthrough role was gangs of wasseypur which was a not glamorous role.
Being an insider and a star kid has its own pros, it’s easy to get a breakthrough role and people are looking forward to see them, but besides the monetary support what I feel is more important is the moral support which I feel is very important at the initial stage of your career which I think is very important.

You have played some of the most popular and trending roles, what piece of your work has been your personal favorite and why?
Ms. Richa Chadha
My personal favorite is very hard to pick, but my recent work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a new favorite, “Heeramandi” it shows my role in altogether different light and I am really looking forward for the audience to see it and love it!

Women Fitness India talks about celebrity diets and fitness routine, what comprises of your diet routine? Do you follow any special diet?
Ms. Richa Chadha
I don’t follow any particular diet, even I have stopped advising people on different diets, I only advice people to see what foods suit you go for an allergic test see whether lactose suits you. I have seen a lot of people who are borderline diabetic consuming foods like fruits which are very high on sugar, also people with chronic acidity having warm water with lemon in it. So its very important to understand your diet to include proper protein, fats and carbs in it. With so much of health issues coming up every day, heart issues at such young age is like an alarm clock for us to understand and be conscious about our lifestyle.
