Richa Chadha's sense of humour has always been praised in her films and on social media. The actress has now taken a step ahead and shared a video of her first stand-up comedy stint on Amazon Original Series, One Mic Stand. The video shows Richa making fun of the aunties who were after her to get married and it will sure tickle your funny bone. Watch below -
The other celebrities on 'One Mic Stand' are Vishal Dadlani, Taapsee Pannu and Bhuvan Bam. They will be tutored by comedy legends like Rohan Joshi, Ashish Shakya, Zakir Khan, and Angad Singh Ranyal. Talking about the same in an interview with Hindustan Times, Richa said, "I like to experiment and when this opportunity came along, I thought ‘let’s see how it goes down’. They said there’s a show where a celebrity will have to be mentored and it turned out to be very challenging and fun experience."

Using Cuss words
Talking about using derogatory language, Richa in an interview with a leading publication said, "During the last few years, I have seen a lot of people expressing themselves through comedy. I am more offended by some of the things that the politicians say. Someone just said that Pakistan and China are releasing toxic fumes leading to pollution in India. Politicians are giving such competition to stand-up comics. The stand-up comedians are coughing in anger and frustration ‘ki humari naukri mat lejaao yar’. Someone just said there is gold in cow dung."
Will she also use abusive language in her gigs? "You mean as opposed to my films where I use cuss words? When you do comedy, you do all kinds of things -- you make jokes, you make fun of yourself, you make fun of others. Sometimes you use cuss words, sometimes you don’t. It doesn’t matter," Richa was quoted by Hindustan Times.
On the professional front
Richa will be next seen in Ashwini Iyer Tiwary's Panga alongside Kangana Ranaut. She will later feature in Shakeela biopic and then she has Anubhav Sinha's Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai
