SHOCKING! Richa Chadda's role was CHOPPED off in Sarbjit!
Richa Chadda is getting appreciation for her role in Sarabjit. The actress who will be seen next in Pooja Bhatt's Cabaret revealed how hurt she is over the limited screen space her character has been given on the screen. Such has been the 'Sarabjit' experience that Richa has vowed never to play a supporting role.
She explains, "It's not about the length of the role. It's just that one works so hard on a film. It's heartbreaking when some of your best scenes get sacrificed on the editing table."
This is what happened when Sarbjit needed to be pruned down. Says Richa, "Some of my best scenes had to go. The one scene that I still have towards the end where I am shown bonding with Aishwarya's character has no context since all my scenes showing my kinship with her are gone."

Says Richa, "That sequence vividly showed my character's financial and emotional humiliation in her husband's absence. Unfortunately it had to go. But I shouldn't be complaining. Every actor except Randeep Hooda had to suffer the same fate in Sarjbit,and that includes Aishwarya." A sequence showing Dalbir's marriage was edited out. Apparently many scenes featuring Ankur Bhatia(playing Aishwarya's husband) were also gone. In one sequence we see Aishwarya with a black eye. But we don't know how she got it.''
Sighs Richa, "I am not saying I was singled out for role-chopping. All I am saying is that after so much work it's frustrating to have just one scene for yourself. I don't need to do this after Masaan and now Cabaret where I have the central role."
