Richa Chadha receives Bharat Ratna Dr Ambedkar award; says, ‘It’s an honour’

Richa Chadha, who made her debut in the Bollywood drama film Masaan, has been honored with the prestigious Bharat Ratna Dr. Ambedkar award by Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari for her contribution to Indian cinema.

Reacting to the news, Richa in a statement said, “It’s an honor that I will hold close to my heart. For an actor who has had no godfather, every achievement feels precious and well-earned. The award reiterates my faith in my dreams. It has been a long journey to this point and standing by my value system and making movies that mean something more than just entertainment has always been my endeavor.”

Further, she said, “For the year that we’ve had, it remains a continual duty of artists to support the lesser privileged and help reinstate their lives. The job of an actor goes beyond an entertainer’s. We all carry the responsibility of uplifting the society, and as an influencer, I urge that more people join in supporting the lesser privileged. It’s equally our responsibility to vouch continual support to the medical fraternity and Covid warriors, who’ve brought us out of the most tumultuous year of our lives.”

Recently, Richa Chadha and her beau Ali Fazal were seen at the El Gouna Film Festival in Egypt. She participated in a panel discussion about women’s empowerment.
