Television actress Richa Rathore. who plays the lead in the popular show 'Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha', hails from Shimla. A student of engineering, she never thought she would move to Mumbai one day to pursue acting. But, as they say, destiny had other plans for her.

She reveals, “It all began with the film 'Tamasha' by Imtiaz Ali. I was completing my engineering when the team had come to our college to conduct auditions. The shoot was happening in Shimla only. So I auditioned for it and was offered a small role, which I happily took up. I shot for a week with the team and I was awestruck by what was happening around me. That is when I felt acting is what I want to do."
