Just a couple of days ago, Richa Chadha had opened up about prepping up for her role as a courtesan in the recently released Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actress has not only been receiving appreciation for her performance as an actor but also as a dancer ever since the series premiered on May 1, and it also includes her solo dance performance on the song ‘Masoom Dil Hain Mera’. Recently, she took to social media to share a special video highlighting the transformation from her rehearsals for the song.
Richa Chadha reveals how the Kathak sequence ‘broke her down’ in Heeramandi; says, “It truly broke me down but those tears came from a place of achievement”
Richa Chadha posted a split screen video wherein we can see her rehearsing and her actual performance in the song, ‘Masoom Dil Hain Mera’ and along with that, she also shared an anecdote highlighting that what she had rehearsed to what they shot was drastically different and a lot was improvised and changed on the sets itself. She wrote “I can safely say that almost none of Kruti Mahesh’s choreography remained the same. So I was grateful to have practiced to just be in the groove. This is one of the steps that remained. Rest well were winging it on set”.
Richa further highlighted that she has to wear a 40kg vest even during rehearsals so to get into the habit of being able to wear the actual costume; which too was 40kg in weight. Richa revealed that the day of the shoot broke her down and she was left in tears and exhaustion. She even revealed the final part of the song was something she had to perform in one take. She added, “Sir wanted me to perform the heartbroken part of the song in one go without any cuts. The camera had to pan 360 and I had to keep performing navigating the emotions, the camera and the dance. It was a super emotional day and it truly broke me down. But those tears came from a place of achievement”.
Richa Chadha essays the role of a courtesan who is adopted by Mallikajaan aka Manisha Koirala, who rules the Shahi Mahal – where the courtesans reside. Richa is paired alongside Adhyayan Suman, who plays a Nawab. The web-series features an ensemble cast comprising of Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Sehgal, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Shekhar Suman, Fardeen Khan, Taha Shah Badussha, among others and is currently streaming on Netflix.
