34-year-old actor Richa Chadha believes that it is not always necessary that an artiste lands a role that aligns with their personal values.

“It’s not necessary you get work that matches with your value system… If you get a role like that, it is good but that’s a very rare thing. It’s a blessing if it happens,” she told PTI.

“But there should be at least this much liberty where one can ask for changes. For example, if a dialogue you feel is vulgar, you should be able to speak up. It almost never happens that you get to play a role that is similar to your personal values,” she added, as per PTI reports.

The actor said her aim is to explore different types of roles in her filmography.

“I just want to see what all roles I can play and fit in. For me, if the film is set in a particular zone, I would want to be featured on its poster, such as ‘Section 375’…

“If you’re an outsider, it takes some time for you to find your footing in the industry. That’s what happened with me and now I’m getting to do the kind of work I always wanted to do. I’m very happy,” Chadha said.

The actor, who is known for her performances in ‘Masaan’, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Fukrey’ film series, is currently anticipating the release of ‘Shakeela’, a biopic on the popular Malayalam adult star.

Directed by Indrajit Lankesh, the film narrates the rags-to-riches-to-rags story of Shakeela Khan, who ruled the South Indian cinema of the ’90s, featuring in several adult films in languages ranging from Tamil to Kannada.

The film was slated to be released earlier this year but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chadha, who stars in the titular role, said she is happy about the film releasing on Friday.

Earlier this year, the actor was seen in the sports drama ‘Panga’. During the lockdown, she was busy shooting for Amazon’s anthology ‘Unpaused’, which released last week, and director Arati Kadav’s upcoming sci-fi short ’55km/sec’.

In the new year, she will start working on ‘Fukrey 3’.
