Actor Richa Chadha has often been brutally honest like when she spoke of being a migrant. She has also not shied away from publicly apologizing for a blunder. She now took to her Instagram Stories and got candid about another issue. Richa posted a note to expose the detrimental things that newcomers in Bollywood are coerced into doing.
While Richa named no names, she spoke of her own experience, stating that she was naive and people took advantage of it. Take a look-
“‘Bollywood’, an imaginary address between Bandra and Goregaon. Here when people need you to do something that’s detrimental to you/your health/your career, they’ll tell you how good it is for you and be confident that you’ll believe them. I used to believe them when I was naive,” she wrote.
She called out the media for hypocrisy by addressing its approach towards nepotism.
“Some press peeps will write long pieces about how nepotism ruins the industry while creepily following every pre-pubescent with a famous last name, and dissing any self-made professional in their mediocre writing, on the pretext of ‘freedom of expression’,” she added.
Lastly, she concluded with a warning that a reform was necessary if Bollywood has to survive the onslaught of OTT, VR and everything in the future. “Plz smell the coffee,” she signed off.
