Bollywood’s beautiful and bold actress Richa Chadha on Tuesday responded to a Twitter user who asked her ‘why women need reservation’. Richa, who is an avid social media user, regularly shuts down trolls and is known for voicing her opinions on Twitter. Again, in a new Tweet, the actress raised her concern on women’s reservation and shut down a troll, saying ‘You should be retracted into the womb.’
The user wrote, “Why do women need reservation. Do Dey consider demslvs lesser than men?? Kindly win through your own merit (sic).”
Responding to him, Richa said “You should be retracted into the womb, with immediate effect. And then declined as a possibility.”
Richa regularly shuts down trolls on Twitter. After the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, she was asked by one person why she hadn’t commented on it. She wrote back, “xactly how are we ‘keeping quiet’? How dare you suggest that ? You know that the police is investigating the matter and everyone is cooperating by providing statements and clues. Trolls like you ignore the role of mental health in this scenario, going after his real friends, harassing them…for what? And you call yourself a doctor ? What if someone kills themselves because of trolls like you ? Should you be booked for abetment to suicide? F**k off please for insinuating that anyone at all is keeping quiet. You’re a disgrace to his memory.”
Unlike her contemporary, Swara Bhasker, she said that she hasn’t faced any professional repercussions for her outspokenness. She said in a recent Hindustan Times interview, “I don’t think there’s been any impact professionally. Personally, I do feel what happens sometimes is I am held to higher standards than others, that’s the flip side. People expect me to be that, and at times are like ‘we didn’t expect this from you, we wanted better from you’. There is the burden of those expectations.”
