As much as I would have liked to get back sooner, my body, my mind wasn’t ready at all. But other than these tangible issues, I have had to deal with deep professional betrayals from close quarters. I have learnt that in the industry, a rare few have ethics and courage. Most people operate from such deep-seated inferiority complexes and scarcity mentality, that they never mean what they say. They’re never happy, like dementors - they suck all joy out of life.” “Those that have displayed cruelty towards me during my most vulnerable phase perhaps never received adequate love in their own lives. I forgive, but I NEVER forget. Please bear this in mind should you cross my path. You know who you are. Are you scared ? Good. If it takes a village to raise a child. It takes amazing support to help the mom cuz Mommy doesn’t remember who she was before the baby was born. The mental recovery from it took longer than I hoped,” the Heeramandi star added. She concluded her note by stating, “Everyone tells you to post more, create more ‘content’ but I am not employed by SM. I have a life. And I have been so afraid to share the littlest snippet from it, lest I receive podcast invites to “talk about it”, with cameras rolling zooming in to every tear. I miss the days when IG used to be a place where you uploaded photos of what you ate and other mundane things. This end stage necro-capitalism ensures that whenever someone talks about a topic, that’s it! That’s the niche that needs to be marketed to! Why can’t you discuss an eating disorder without selling a diet ? Why can’t you discuss post-partum depression without becoming the poster-child for it ? Why can’t you be a body positivity enthusiast without sharing a close up of your stretch marks. We must pause to ask ourselves what the point of sharing things is. Is sharing important so that others don’t feel alone? Or is it important so you can get rich. I am already RICHa. Hehe. जो दिखता है वो बिकता है। पर मैं बिकाऊ नहीं हूँ।.” Talking about Richa Chadha, the actress will next be seen in the film Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai.
