Richa Chadha is an actor and producer whose questions reach far beyond cinema. What does progress mean if we lose our shared history, our languages and even the ability to breathe safely in our cities? With Sheeba Aslam Fehmi, she connects motherhood and her cultural exploration, Musafiri, to a larger question: what do we owe one another as citizens?
Expect to learn why Mumbai's overlooked heritage matters, how language preserves memories that textbooks miss, why Richa questions Hindi cinema's relationship with literature, and what taxes should deliver in public services. They explore the cost of redevelopment, pollution and disappearing mangroves; the promise of Gen Z; her marriage to Ali Fazal; and the difference between personal faith and religion turned into a business. Richa also reflects on vulnerability early in her film career, a spiritual experience that gave her courage, and why purpose matters more than accumulating wealth.
