Richa turns writer, to release book in August

The book emphasises on what women have to do every day to pursue everything — from focusing on career to fighting sexist prejudices A SOURCE

In her eight-year-long career, actor Richa Chadha, who is known for her unconventional choices in films, has managed to carve a niche for herself in Bollywood. Richa, who is extremely active on social media, has also teamed up with various production houses to star in socially relevant videos. And now, going a step further, she has decided to write a book.

A source says, “After she wraps up the shoot of Fukrey Returns, Richa has some time to herself. This year, she is all set to debut as a writer with her first novel. The book is going to be focused on misogyny in India and has a humorous take on it. Richa, who is soon to do a live standup comedy act also, feels that through humour one can send across a great deal of message and create a lot of awareness amongst people.”

Set in Delhi, the book’s central character is a young woman who belongs to a middle class family. “It emphasises on the things women have to do every day to pursue everything — from focusing on their career to fighting sexist prejudices. Her book will release in August this year, but Richa is already excited as she has got a publisher on board,” confirms the source.

Richa was not available for comment.
