Bollywood actress Richa Chadda has played the loud and girl on screen already. With new movies "BAD" and "Ishqeria", she is ready to break her image with the role of a shy and conservative girl.

Richa's acting talent has been widely appreciated in films like "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Fukrey". But she is hoping to give the audience a different taste of her talent with her forthcoming projects.

"I have played a shy girl in 'BAD', a girl who is conscious and dreamy. Even in 'Ishqueria', I play a girl who is shy and conservative," Richa told.

The actress also said that "BAD" is not a gangster film.

"It is not a gangster film. A gangster is someone who has organised crime and has a large number of people working for him. 'BAD' focuses on a particular episode of Charles Sobhraj. It has nothing to do with a gangster film. I won't risk typecasting myself," she said.

Talking about her role, she said: "I play a law student and not a gangster."


One schedule of the film is over, and Richa says, as of now, the team has "a long way to go".

"The first schedule was shot in Udaipur. We have some in Bangkok and some in Goa," she said.

TV will be suicidal right now

Bollywood actress Richa Chaddha, who will be seen in a cameo in Anil Kapoor's TV series "24", has no plans to do television full time

"I won't be entering the TV industry because I don't think any young, busy actor will have time and commitment to give to TV. At least I don't have it at the present stage. I am doing a cameo in '24', " Richa told.

"It will be suicidal to do TV right now. It is not like the west where actors can have careers in films and TV at the same time. I am talking about successful film actors. I don't think I have the commitment to give to TV. All I could spare was what I needed for '24', " said the actress who has been seen in films like "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Fukrey".


The show "24" is based on the American series of the same name. It has been written by Rensil D'Silva and produced by Anil.

Talking about the show, she said it will change the face of Indian Television.

"I wanted to work with the production. I know how hard Mr. Kapoor is working. He believes that this is the future of television. It is a series that will change the face of Indian TV from the saas-bahu soaps to something, which is a series kind of thing, " she said.


The actress did not reveal her role in the show.

"I can't talk about it. That decision is with the makers. As they seem fit, they must reveal the character. It is interesting. . . something that someone has not seen me do before, " she said.
