In a recent interview with Puja Talwar, Richa Chadda, when asked about Nora Fatehi’s take on feminism, called it ‘really a not real understanding’. “The cute thing about feminism is that it accepts those that seek the benefits of feminism but deny being a feminist. The reason why someone is able to have a career, choose what they want to wear, work where they want to be independent, have those choices is because of feminism and because of predecessors who decided that women need to be out there working jobs, not just being at home. So, I think it’s a misguided reaction to the visual of some misinformed bra-burning chaos from the late ’60s. It’s not really a real understanding,” she answered.Richa Chadha has always been very vocal when comes the feminism and women’s issues. In the interview she contradicted with Fatehi’s statement and told that she didn’t fully agree with it. “All roles are defined, not as gender roles, but as, just as people who are sharing the responsibility of bringing a child into the world. And I don’t fully agree with this, women should be this way. And not this way. I’m surprised it was said at all, actually,” she said. Both the actors have recently been seen on the screen. While Nora was recently seen in Kunal Kemmu’s directorial debut Madgaon Express, Richa was greatly appreciated by the viewers for her role as Lajjo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi.
