E. Times of India Report
Apart from being a brilliant actress, Richa Chadha is also known as fiercely vocal on social media.
Now, in a recent interview with news agency IANS, the Masaan actress slammed the media, accusing the press of being overtly critical towards female stars. Also taking a dig at social media trolls passing judgements on choices made by actresses in the showbiz industry, Richa said: "Mainstream media as well as social media tends to be unfair towards female stars, and female stars get trolled and criticised more than their male counterparts."
Citing example of Priyanka Chopra, Swara Bhasker and Sonam Kapoor, Richa elaborated on her point and said: "I can say this from my observation of the way media constantly questions Priyanka Chopra, Swara Bhaskar, Sonam Kapoor and other female stars for their choices - whether it is fashion, political opinion or lifestyle. Do they question the male stars enough as well?" IANS quoted her as saying in an interview.
Richa, who recently featured as a feisty advocate in courtroom drama Section 375, added that she was targeted at press conferences and hit out with a rhetorical query: "How many times has the media questioned male actors on films that are 'jingoistic' and encourage 'warmongering'? During the press conference of my film Section 375, I was asked about my opinion on the flood-affected areas. Do they ask these questions to the real people who actually can bring change - I mean the authorities and politicians?"
