With overnight success, a number of actors simply rested on their laurels and became complacent about their craft, thereby, losing out on good work in the long-run. However, hottie actress Richa Chadda is not among them. Even though she won rave reviews for her performances in Oye Lucky Lucky Oye and Gangs of Wasseypur, Richa has decided to go back to her mentor, Barry John, to sharpen her acting skills for her upcoming film projects.
Says Richa,“I’ve been really lucky to have trained with Barry who has been a huge inspiration and guiding force in my career. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and is also responsible to a great extent in instilling in me a passion for acting. He has made me a thinking actor so my training with him is a natural choice.”
On his part, Barry John says, “I have been associated with Richa since 1996 when we were based in Delhi and she had enrolled for a part- time course. Later when we shifted base to Mumbai, Richa approached me again and it was then when I saw the real talent in her. From that girl who came from a conservative family to this confident actress, Richa has really transformed herself.”
We think it’s fab that she’s going back to acting school – a lesson many other jaded stars and starlets might take a cue from.
