Richa Chadha’s first character promo from Inside Edge

Bollywood actress Richa Chadha featured in an International Women’s Day special video featuring Global icons and Grammy Awards winners Mary J Blige, Ed Sheeran, and Dua Lipa. The international initiative is led by an NGO formed by women for women, to help raise awareness about the lack of equal women rights across different walks of life.

The video shows an analytical report of the lack of women representation and rights especially in developing countries where stigmas like domestic violence are not even considered.

The actress is excited to be a part of this video, Richa said in a statement to a leading Publication, “Last year, a survey claimed that India is the worlds most unsafe place for women and I was really embarrassed.

“I was even more disturbed to read in another survey that 42 percent of women think that being beaten is okay. There needs to be a drastic shift in mindset if we are to progress in a genuine way as a country.”

Richa added that she finds it ’empty progress’, she continued, ”giant skyscrapers but I cannot go home from my office in the same skyscraper using public transport at 9 p.m. in the night without the fear of assault. And this is true for most parts of India”.

“I am grateful that India finds representation in the video,” added Richa, who has been very vocal about women’s right.
