Richa Chadha thanks the crew who ‘beautified’ her in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama Heeramandi; Manisha Koirala reacts

Even after almost a month since ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ released on OTT, Richa Chadha's portrayal of Lajwanti aka Lajjo has received a lot of appreciation. Everything, including her makeup and hairstyle, was expertly applied by skilled and talented artists.
The actress took to her social media and expressed her gratitude to everyone who contributed to her royalty appearance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama.Mommy-to-be Richa Chadha posted a string of behind-the-scenes glimpses from the shoot of ‘Heeramandi’. In the lengthy post, she talked about how much fun she had on set even though her role on screen was short-lived.
In addition, Richa thanked the entire team of stylists, makeup artists, and outfit designers who worked tirelessly and efficiently to help her portray the role of Lajjo flawlessly on the screen. She wrote, “It’s been a month since the premiere, surreal. Contrary to Lajjo’s grief, I was always cracking up and happy on set! Although my part probably was the smallest, the dates were spread out so it gave me the wonderful opportunity to work with a few brilliant hands for makeup and hair.”
She further added, “Worked with @shaylinayak beautiful energy and work, @blendingiscardio for mirror scene and some sakal ban too, always efficient, ditto @harryrajput64 for mirror scene and cafe scene, Harry and I also do a lot of work together, we’re creative buddies too… and the brilliant @tanujadabirmakeup for the song, #masoomdilhaimera @ramihalder and @ashisbogi who you may have scene plastered all over IG with BTS.”

Richa concluded by saying, “I am grateful that your hands beautified me. No matter what an actor claims, it takes a village… and then beautiful lighting and costumes and jewellery. So thank you. An actor, if given an opportunity, must do all kinds of things. It’s good brain exercise too to challenge yourself and see your own capability.”
After sharing her post, Richa’s co-star Manisha Koirala took to the comments section and wrote, “Well said !! It does take a village!!!” Actor Taha Shah Badussha penned, “U r amazing both as a performer and a person.” She also received love from Indresh Malik, who portrayed Ustad Ji in the OTT series.
The actress has already expressed her admiration for the team responsible for creating the memorable character. She showed snippets of herself transforming into Lajjo and spending two hours perfecting the hair and makeup in a previous post.
In her old post, she wrote, “Wanna see what all goes into making a memorable character dancing her swan song with a master - The SLB? 2 hours of hair and make up … got to work with @tanujadabirmakeup and @ashisbogi for #masoomdilhaimera ! Then the heavy, oh so heavy Anarkali by @rimpleandharpreet! #lajjoheeramandi”
Chadha further added, “The cute doggies on set were the best stress busters… you see here me cuddling with the best baby puppers in a break, and our set favourite Bagheera taking a lap ride with Ashis! Some mirror practice of the bhaav, walking to our beautiful set, gearing up for the challenge!!! And afterwards.. The tears are real… so you see Tanuja removing the remains of running mascara from under my eyes… tell me what did you think of that last shot of Lajjo dancing. Be honest, DID IT MAKE YOU CRY ?”
Richa Chadha, who is eagerly waiting for the arrival of her first child with Ali Fazal, will be next seen in ‘Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai’.
