Richa
Chadha's
Breakout
Role
While
personally
Richa
is
clear
of
how
she
wants
to
go
about
her
career,
the
actor
is
baffled
by
how
the
industry
struggles
to
slot
her.
Though
she
was
noticed
in
her
debut
Oye
Lucky
Lucky
Oye,
Nagma
Khatoon
in
Anurag
Kashyap's
acclaimed
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
was
her
breakout
role.
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
The
2012
film,
however,
put
her
in
a
zone
where
she
was
afraid
of
being
typecast,
that
Richa
consciously
tried
to
shed
the
image.
"I
think
the
industry
struggles
in
trying
to
slot
me.
I
am
not
a
kurta-jhola
type
of
actress,
I
have
consciously
chosen
to
be
glamorous.
That's
the
identity
I
chose
because
I
was
so
afraid
of
being
stereotyped
after
‘Gangs...'
so
that's
what
I
went
for.
So,
I
think
they
struggle
a
little
bit
to
slot
me."
Richa
Chadha
Faced
Hurdles
An
Outsider
Despite
making
wrong
choices
initially
in
her
career,
Richa
says
she
is
happy
the
way
things
have
turned
out
for
her.
"I
think
I
only
made
mistakes
in
the
beginning
of
my
career.
But
after
that
I
have
been
conscious
of
the
films
I
want
to
be
in.
It
is
a
tough
choice.
I
am
a
woman,
an
outsider
who
wants
to
be
a
part
of
quality
films
and
I
won't
even
sleep
around.
So
I
am
in
extreme
minority
with
the
kind
of
work
I
want
to
do," she
says.
Stand
By
Your
Choices
Says
Richa
There
is,
of
course,
a
price
to
pay
for
being
selective
but
for
the
actor
it
is
largely
materialistic
-
"no
penthouse,
or
a
fancy
bungalow
or
millions
of
followers".
"But
you
have
to
choose
and
stand
by
your
choices,"
she
adds.
