‘Childlike’ Richa Chadda loves dancing. High time a filmmaker gives this versatile actor a chance to twirl in a film?

If you weren’t an actor, you would’ve been…

Nothing really. I didn’t have a choice. This was my calling.



Your definition of the perfect gentleman.

A liberal, chivalrous and compassionate man who treats all life equally.



If you were to meet a genie, three things you would ask for.

An Oscar award, eternal peace of mind, and to have a lifetime supply of wishes.



The cheesiest compliment you have ever received.

"Is your dad a terrorist ‘cause you’re such a bomb." Eww!



The last thing you bought off the street in Mumbai?

Sev puri.



Which do you prefer, acting in Bollywood or theatre?

Bollywood is an imaginary landscape. I prefer working in cinema in general.



A term that best describes you.

Childlike.



Which is more repulsive in a man, incorrect grammar or unclean nails?

Incorrect grammar.



A New Year resolution you have broken already.

I live each day with a new resolve because time can’t be quantified.



You feel most beautiful when...

I dance.



A lip shade you wouldn’t be caught dead in?

None. I love lipstick.



People from Bollywood you’d never invite to your party?

I can’t name them. They’d feel so hurt if they read this.



High point of your life

Life is about highs and lows

Low point of your life
Like I said, life is about highs and lows

Currently I am...
A global gypsy
