In Bollywood today, there is a lot of talk about how actors from all walks of life are getting a chance and how the film industry is moving way from the stereotypes of the image of a typical Bollywood heroine, who is fair and thin.But actor Richa Chadha believes that despite all that, Bollywood still remains to be a looks-oriented industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked to comment on how some actors say they get \u2018typecast\u2019 because makers believe they only suit glamorous roles, Richa says, \u201cI always feel if there is a person only for item songs or whatever, if she really tries and invests in a script, why won\u2019t people take her seriously? It\u2019s also up to the actor. I love dancing, and trained in it, nobody knows this. If I put up a video of me dancing on Instagram, my company will get calls \u2018hum isko item songs mein cast kar sakte hain kya?\u2019 It\u2019s a very new thing, but it depends on the person also, how you want to make your career, what are the chances you want to take.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Richa puts it, social media has emerged as a tool of sorts for actors, who sometimes might also end up bagging projects because of how popular they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want those roles,\u201d the 32-year old, actor of acclaimed films such as Masaan and the Gangs of Wasseypur series is quick to say, \u201cIf you are getting a role through that, I don\u2019t want them. What can you show in.. I mean, that you have a good following? Those are not the roles I am after. I am not judging people who get roles like that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how has she been able to adjust to the aspect of the showbiz where in one has to be visible in the public and interact with fans on social media frequently. Richa says, \u201cThat\u2019s a bubble, you don\u2019t have to be active on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
