Richa Chadha recalls how her Nani warned her about marriage as a child: 'No one would want to marry you'
Richa Chadha is one of Bollywood's most outspoken and versatile actors. Known for her powerful roles in films like 'Masaan', 'Gangs of Wasseypur', and the popular 'Fukrey' series, she's also admired for voicing strong opinions on social issues. Richa recently opened up about facing gender bias as a young girl, not from the outside world, but from her own family. Speaking to Lily Singh in a new interview, she shared a moment from her childhood that stayed with her. 'I was a kid just jumping on the bed, and my Nani , who was visiting us, said, 'If you keep jumping like this, no one would want to marry you. You can't do this in your in-laws' house. I didn't even understand what she was saying. I must have been seven or eight. And I was like, is she crazy?' Richa recalled. Her grandmother's words came from a different time Richa said she didn't understand what her grandmother meant back then. But later, her mother helped her understand where those words were coming from. Her grandmother was not trying to be mean, she was simply speaking from her own life experience. 'She was born in 1920 and got married at the age of 13. So, she was coming from that context,' Richa explained. 'Focus on the sons' – Richa's strong message on gender equality In the same interview, Richa was asked what we can do to make the world a better place for girls. Her answer was simple and powerful: we need to raise better boys. 'Just focus on the sons. You have to focus on the sons. That's it. It's not the daughters doing it to other daughters. The son needs to have a strong bond with his father. The son needs to understand consent from the mother. The son needs to see that the father treats the mother and sister well. The sister has to be fed the same as the son and sent to school. Women are the backbone of our country. We can't be happy if 50% of the population is watching who is following them, stalking them,' she said.

Here's Why Richa Chadha Turned Vegan, Check Out Here Favourite Foods
Richa Chadha is known for her impeccable acting skills and versatile performances in films like Fukrey, Masaan and Gangs of Wasseypur. The actress is also committed to a healthier lifestyle, which has led her to make some significant changes, including adopting a vegan diet. In an interview with Vegan First, Richa revealed why she turned to a plant-based diet. The actress said, "I've always been vegetarian and I was slowly getting sick of dairy because I realised the dairy industry functions very differently from when our parents were consuming dairy and poultry products – in terms of mass production and numbers – so I decided to give that up altogether. So the transition from being vegetarian to vegan was not very difficult for me." Inspiring others to go vegan, Richa Chadha said, "The only suggestion I have is for people to use logic! We are human beings – we are not meant to consume milk from another mammal. So my only suggestion is, try it (vegan diet). I think it works…once you choose that option and see how light it is on your system, I don't think there'll be any going back!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Richa Chadha (@therichachadha) The star also revealed her favourite vegan foods in a conversation with Pinkvilla. Richa expressed her love for home-cooked dal and chawal. Amritsari kulche with chole is also one of her favourite meals to have. The actress also shared that she appreciates the variety available in Thai and Asian cuisine, particularly dishes with tofu, broccoli and noodles. In addition to enjoying superfood salads, she often has herbs and fruits from a small organic garden she maintains at her home. What Are The Benefits Of A Vegan Diet A vegan diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and fibre, can help lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of heart disease. It can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, potentially lowering the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Rich in antioxidants and fibre, a plant-based diet may help protect against certain cancers. It tends to be lower in calories and saturated fat, which can contribute to weight loss and a lower BMI. A vegan diet can positively impact the gut microbiome, which helps in improving digestion and overall health. Plant-based foods are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce inflammation throughout the body. A well-planned vegan diet can be rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre, potentially leading to increased energy levels and overall well-being. It is important to consult your doctor or nutritionist before making any major or drastic dietary changes, especially if you have any health concerns.
