‘I’d go in for sensuality any day’
Richa Chadda is ecstatic that her character Dolly in her debut film Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye has been appreciated a lot. ���It feels good. Several directors have come up to me and congratulated me for my performance.
It feels great considering I���m not from this industry at all. I���m also glad that the industry is waking up to new talent and that actors like us are also getting a chance,��� says the Delhi girl who auditioned with around 200 other girls for the role.

How difficult was it for her to portray the loud character of Dolly? ���Well, since the film is based in Delhi, it was easier for me as I���ve grown up hearing the crass and crude Hindi which was used in the film. So when I had to speak the language it came easily to me,��� says Richa who also has a theatre background. But yes, Richa was scared as it was a negative role she would be taking up right in her debut film and thoughts of being typecast in negative roles worried her. ���But then the director assured me that it will turn out very well,��� says the actress who���s glad she took it up.
Considering that she���s a newcomer in the industry, does she think that the casting couch exists? ���I think it does exist but I haven���t encountered it till date,��� says Richa, adding, ���I feel serious filmmakers who are interested in making good films will not indulge in such behaviour.���
Ask her whether she���s open to skin show which is now so common in Hindi flicks and she says, ���It totally depends upon the script and the demands of the character. If the scene is aesthetically done, I���m all for it. There are two types of skin shows: One is the Rakhi Sawant-kind of skin show and the other is the Malaika-kind of skin show which is done with a lot of class. So there���s a lot of difference between sensuality and vulgarity and I���d go for sensuality any day,��� she explains.
Richa now wants to try out more challenging roles like playing a drug addict. ���Whether I play a positive or a negative role, I want people to love my character,��� she says.
