Richa Chadha called a ‘Bimbette’ and trolled on Twitter for backing Fawad Khan

Recently, Richa Chadha and Fawad Khan addressed the media at Indian Film Festival held in Melbourne wherein Fawad was bombarded with awkward questions. He was asked about the cultural difference that the film industries in India and Pakistan hold, to which Richa gave an answer on behalf of the actor.

She gave a befitting reply to the journalist stating,

You know we were colonised by the British for a really long time. It’s a part of the… I am sorry if I am offending anybody here, but if you look at worldwide history, every time the British left an empire they divided it. Whether it was North Korea or South Korea then there was Germany. It is a part of the strategy to keep political unrest… I am sorry but your question to me doesn’t make sense because I will have far more in common with Fawad because I am from the North of India than I will have with somebody who is a Tambrahm or maybe a Malyali or from the North East. I think we should avoid stereotyping in questions or creating some kind of contradiction here because the whole intent and especially art does really have any borders.

This statement of hers became a subject of discussion on Twitter. A lot of people criticised her for statement and went on to the extent of calling her a ‘Bimbette’. She gave it back to all her trolls with poise and also blocked a few who crossed the limit. Her answers to her trolls scream that she is not someone to be messed around with!
