I'm
Independent
&
Empowered,
Says
Richa
Chadha
"I'm
as
independent
or
empowered
as
any
other
working
woman
in
this
city.
To
be
pursuing
any
profession
isn't
easy
because
it
is
still
primarily
a
man's
world.
It
affects
how
you
get
paid
and
your
hours
of
work,
among
other
things.
It's
not
like
I'm
drawn
to
only
these
characters.
Maybe
I'm
getting
a
bit
stereotyped.
But
at
least
I'm
not
getting
stereotyped
as
some
weeping
victim," Richa
told
PTI.
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
Was
My
Turning
Point
The
actor
says
her
process
of
selecting
projects
has
changed
with
time.
"I
consider
'Gangs...' my
turning
point.
I
can't
believe
it
has
been
seven
years
already.
I
have
come
a
long
way
since
then,
especially
in
terms
of
what
I
want
to
do
now.
I
have
the
wisdom
today,"
she
added.
And
that
is
why,
when
filmmaker
Pradeep
Sarkar
approached
her
to
feature
in
the
music
video
Neel
Samandar
as
an
Andaman
tribal,
she
could
not
refuse
the
offer.

The
Music
Video

Neel
Samandar
"Of
course,
it
meant
that
shooting
the
song
would
be
a
lot
of
fun
but
what
I
also
loved
about
this
was
that
it
showed
the
matriarchal
side
of
things.
Showing
that
about
an
island
tribe
in
a
music
video
was
very
interesting," she
said.
On
Her
Upcoming
Movies
Richa
said
her
future
projects
reflect
her
"concerns
about
the
world"
and
she
is
happy
to
be
a
part
of
them.
The
actor
will
be
seen
in
Indrajit
Lankesh's
Shakeela,
which
features
her
as
the
eponymous
adult
actor
who
was
one
of
the
biggest
Malayalam
stars
of
the
'90s.
Richa
also
has
Ashwiny
Iyer
Tiwari's
sport
drama
Panga,
Anubhav
Sinha's
Abhi
Toh
Party
Shuru
Hui
Hai
and
Section
375,
in
which
she
plays
a
lawyer.
"I
am
so
proud
of
all
these
films.
I
have
found
films
that
are
echoing
my
concerns
about
the
world.
When
I
was
watching
the
Oscars,
I
thought
if
everybody
here
could
take
up
things
they
believe
in
and
do
that
in
a
committed
way,
it
would
be
so
much
magic
on
screen.''
