Richa Chadha Conferred PETA Best Vegan Style Icon Award For Promoting Animal-Free Fashion
Actor
Richa
Chadha
has
always
used
the
platform
that
her
celebrity
status
gives
her
to
talk
about
things
that
matter.
In
this
way,
she
has
tried
to
spread
awareness
about
more
sustainable
ways
of
living
and
the
need
to
bring
in
cruelty-free
and
ethical
clothing.
Therefore,
it
came
as
no
surprise
when
the
People
for
the
Ethical
Treatment
of
Animals
(PETA)
India
announced
Richa
as
its
Best
Vegan
Style
Icon.
PETA hosted a virtual edition of their annual Vegan Fashion Awards and announced its winners for 2020. The awards are an initiative meant to recognize progressive brands and individuals encouraging a shift to and paving the way to animal-free fashion.
Honoured by this, Richa said in her statement to the press, "Am delighted to be named a style icon. Although it's not always possible because we rely on stylists and makeup people to make us look great and can't always choose cruelty free things, in my personal life I always strive to stay the course. For instance, I stopped wearing silk and leather a few years ago. Am very pleased with this recognition. Thank you, Peta."
The Section 375 actress was also recently bestowed the Dr Ambedkar Bharat Ratna honour for her contributions to cinema. In her statement to the press then, she emphasized on the need for artists to be responsible towards the larger society and its lesser privileged, and reiterated her own pledge to do so.
Talking about work, Richa has a few upcoming films lined up which are Shakeela, Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai, and Lahore Confidential. Her last release was Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's Panga, which also starred Jassie Gill, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Kangana Ranaut and Yagya Bhasin, and was praised for her performance in it.
