The actor earlier said that she has been doing a lot of creative stuff amid the lockdown. Richa Chadha is working on her cooking, developing a new script, and dancing. The actor took to her social media on Monday and shared a video of her practising belly dancing.

Sharing an interesting story in the caption, she wrote, "Dance warm-up. Today in an interview I got asked why people don’t know that I am a trained Kathak dancer, or why I don’t dance in many films...My response to that was I am learning a new art form to satisfy my creative urges... with no goal in mind... One must just learn without expectations... without thinking about how that learning could come in handy in a film, or at a family gathering, or anything for that matter... Who knows? Looking at a beautiful painting could make me a better actor, reading amazing poetry and literature could make me a better actor, learning how to sing has definitely made me a better actor... it’s nice to do things just for the sake of experience! After all, what is life if not a series of experiences? Inspiration can come from anywhere! #lifelessons #RichaChadha #tribalFusion #dance #bellydance #learning #lockdown #Quarantine #actorslife".
