Richa
Chadha
is
being
lauded
for
her
performance
in
her
most
recent
film,
Section
375.
The
film
is
a
courtroom
drama
about
two
lawyers
fighting
the
opposite
sides
of
a
high-profile
rape
case.
Richa
has
starred
opposite
Akshaye
Khanna
in
the
film.
Recently,
Richa
shared
her
observations
on
how
the
media
is
tougher
on
female
actors
than
male
actors
with
the
kind
of
questions
they
ask.
The
actress
expressed
how
stars
like
Priyanka
Chopra,
Sonam
Kapoor
and
others
are
criticized
more
for
their
choices
than
male
actors.
Speaking
to
IANS,
Richa
said,
"Mainstream
media
as
well
as
social
media
tends
to
be
unfair
towards
female
stars,
and
female
stars
get
trolled
and
criticised
more
than
their
male
counterparts.
I
can
say
this
from
my
observation
of
the
way
media
constantly
questions
Priyanka
Chopra
Jonas,
Swara
Bhaskar,
Sonam
Kapoor
and
other
female
stars
for
their
choices
-
whether
it
is
fashion,
political
opinion
or
lifestyle.
Do
they
question
the
male
stars
enough
as
well?"
She
further
continued,
"How
many
times
has
the
media
questioned
male
actors
on
films
that
are
jingoistic
and
encourage
warmongering?
During
the
press
conference
of
my
film
Section
375,
I
was
asked
about
my
opinion
on
the
flood-affected
areas.
Do
they
ask
these
questions
to
the
real
people
who
actually
can
bring
change
-
I
mean
the
authorities
and
politicians?"
Talking
about
how
she
has
grown
a
thick
skin
towards
the
media
after
being
maligned
in
her
early
days.
"I
am
very
cordial
with
my
critics
because
how
they
write
about
me
is
their
prerogative.
In
my
initial
days,
I
have
had
press
call
me
ugly.
They
called
me
names
for
my
appearance
in
a
film
where
I
was
not
required
to
look
glamorous.
An
article
was
written
on
me,
titled
'10
things
that
one
hates
about
Richa
Chadda'
by
a
publication.
If
a
journalist
tries
to
belittle
me,
I
would
rather
grow
a
thick
skin,
instead
of
taking
the
negativity
to
my
heart.
There
is
a
difference
between
critiquing
and
being
mean
to
someone,
and
I
know
that," she
said.
Richa
will
next
be
seen
in
Ashwini
Iyer
Tiwari's
sports
drama,
Panga,
which
also
stars
Kangana
Ranaut,
Jassi
Gill
and
Neena
Gupta.
The
film
is
scheduled
for
release
on
January
10,
2020.
