Returning to the real world after a six-month lockdown is emotionally daunting for everyone. Despite knowing that projects and everyone associated with it—from daily wage workers, crew members, spots to freelancers—are dependent on actors, it is not an easy choice to go back to shoot with the COVID-19 threat still looming over. While Richa Chadha opted to start her life again post-pandemic, the decision didn't come easy. Last week, the actor resumed shooting for a well-known filmmaker for a short schedule.

Besides the pandemic, Chadha is seemingly displeased by the vilification of the film fraternity, but is aware that as an artiste she has to do her bit. "Actors are obliged to keep everyone entertained. Despite the nonsensical attacks on the film industry, everyone is eventually watching content we created from the safety of their homes, right? We also have a responsibility towards all those who work tirelessly behind the scenes and have been battling a rough financial time now," said the actor.
