The petite actress who has a theatre leaning has gone to New Delhi to get back in touch with her long-time mentor Barry John.
Richa is planning to stay in the capital for about a week. Talking about this episode, she sounds mighty grateful to him. `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 meeting him is a natural choice, ` says the 28-year-old.
Barry himself has pleasant words to spare for his protege while highlighting the bond they share. `I have been associated with her 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, ` mulls the Delhi-based theatre guru.
