Renowned Bollywood actor Richa Chadha has shared insights into feminism and her distressing encounters with toxic co-stars.
In an interview, the actress discussed encountering individuals who exhibit patriarchal and misogynistic behaviors, irrespective of gender. According to her, such attitudes are not exclusive to a particular gender.
Delving deeper into the topic of feminism, Chadha recounted unpleasant experiences with female producers who present themselves as feminists but fail to live up to those ideals. Speaking to News18, she also shed light on her interactions with toxic co-stars who engage in constant competition.
The actor expressed skepticism towards the notion that all women are inherently virtuous, acknowledging the presence of disgraceful women in society. Chadha remarked, “I don’t think I subscribe to the fact that all women are saints. I’ve had some terrible experiences with female producers whose cheques bounced and they pretend to be feminists on Twitter (now X).”
She further disclosed instances of working with toxic co-actors who engage in rivalry by withholding cues and disrupting scenes.
On the professional front, Chadha recently portrayed the character of Lajjo, a captivating courtesan, in the web series “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.” The show also features Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Sharmin Segal in significant roles.
