Richa Chadha calls nepotism 'hateful'

Expressing her views about the hatred Sushant’s friend’s received, Richa Chadha admitted that she was surprised by the collective lack of dismay and shock people showed to those personally affected by the unfortunate incident and opined that people have stooped in their discourse. Adding to the same, Richa Chadha wrote that several filmmakers who shared condolence messages a month ago are the same people who ‘ran down movies of their peer’s pre-release, have replaced actresses who refused to sleep with them at the last minute and several have in fact repeatedly forecasted their judgments’. In her note, the actor added that nepotism makes her ‘laugh out loud’, as it is 'hateful'.

Recalling a story involving Sushant, Richa Chadha revealed that she used to take acting workshops with Sushant about a decade ago, and the late actor would often come to pick her up for the auditions. Richa Chadha added that she was not poor or broke, but was considerate about finances when she had to head out for an audition of a skin brand. Chadha revealed that she would worry about her makeup melting in the auto-rickshaw before she arrived for the audition. Citing this example, Richa explained that this would never happen with a star-kid, and if it did, they will be lauded for being humble enough to take the rickshaw in the first place.
