She also said that she was body-shamed several times and even makers asked her to shed weight or do roles of a fat girl.
"I have constantly been told, “Oh you are too chubby!” This is how I am, this is my body structure. Often I have been offered roles of a ‘fat girl’ as per the script’s demand. I don’t want that tag. I have been told to lose weight if I want to act. I don’t want to lose weight only to be a part of the industry,’’ the actress told TOI.
On the personal front, Richa got married to Vivek Gupta in 2017. Vivek is a businessman.
On the professional front, Richa Bhadra has been part of shows like ‘Baa Bahu aur Baby’ and ‘Mrs. Tendulkar’. Fans still remember her as the lovable Chakki from ‘Khichdi’. The show starred Supriya Pathak, Rajeev Mehta and Anang Desai in key roles.
