Richa Chadha takes up a new job
Actress Richa Chadha has been appointed as a member of the Advisory Board of Women in Film and Television India (WIFT).
"I am someone who has come to this industry without a godfather and it hasn't been easy. The industry at this point is a much more organised workspace and is much safer to work in than before, but there's much more to be done.
There's this impression that show business is not a good place for women. Everyone in my extended family was apprehensive when I joined the film Industry.
"But 10 years on, I have worked on some path breaking projects, with talented artistes and am proud of my filmography and struggle.
Now a movie sets are filled with women and it's important to create this gender-neutral environment if we want to say balanced stories, and even progress as a society," Richa said.
