Richa Chadha says motherhood has calmed her rebel spirit
The actor further added, "I think she really puts things into perspective, and this whole experience has really softened me. I am more patient now, I speak more softly, and I am on time more often than before. Something like this forces you to grow up; I even wake up early now."Richa, who is known for pushing against industry expectations, also expressed her thoughts on nepotism in Bollywood. She said, "It definitely helps when you aren't born into this industry.""I see the kids that are born here, especially the children of actors; Fridays mean something completely different for them. There is so much pressure, and I think the trick is to not surround yourself with sycophants. We see many actors or directors who surround themselves with 'yes-men', and no one tells these people that their last good film was 20 years ago," the actor added.Chadha's daughter, Zuneyra Ida Fazal, was born on July 16, 2024. Announcing the news in a joint statement with actor-husband Ali Fazal, the couple said, "We are tickled pink with joy to announce the arrival of a healthy baby girl on 16.07.24! Our families are overjoyed, and we thank our well-wishers for their love and blessings (sic)."Chadha was recently seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix series 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'. She is now preparing to return to comedy with the upcoming fourth part of the popular 'Fukrey' Franchise.- EndsMust Watch
