Richa Chadha hits out at 'toxic older ladies' in viral Insta story; netizens say, 'Bitchy cat fights'

Richa Chadha's Insta story has caught people's attention

Richa Chadha was simply stellar as Lajjo Jaan in Heeramandi. In a short role, she proved why she is one of the best actresses in the industry. Now, she has shared a pic of hers in one of the outfits from Heeramandi promotions. The caption of the Insta story has got people talking. It reads, “Nothing, just me turning my back on toxic older ladies dressed like teenagers, announcing that they are 'au natural' after 10 surgeries. Didi (sister), don't be lying to someone who knows you from five noses ago (laughing emoji). It is all good (kiss and flying kiss emojis). No one's even asking because we have eyes.” 

Is she referring to Heeramandi co-star Aditi Rao Hydari?

This comes days after she slammed a casting agent for being exploitative when she was a newcomer in the industry. Netizens said she could have made a point without body-shaming him. After seeing this post, Reddit is on fire. A netizen commented, “Bitchy cat fights are back Bollywood is healing,” while another one wrote, “Lmfao this is definitely petty but I would bet a kidney that the Heeramandi cast had some DRAMA behind the scenes. She clearly despises Aditi for building what’s essentially a new career after shaving a decade off her age and getting tons of work done. I feel for actresses who have to do this to keep their careers. The industry is so misogynistic. But Aditi has also taken the whole “pretending to be a decade younger” thing too far and I can see Richa being like fuck this, I’m not a party to your fake persona.” 

Netizens have mixed reactions

Many people have sided with Richa Chadha in the matter. It seems Aditi Rao Hydari referred to Chadha as Didi during Heeramandi shoot. This reportedly upset Richa Chadha. A person pointed out that Aditi Rao Hydari made some comments on other actresses which were not in good taste. But some said there is no need for Richa Chadha to take such cryptic potshots at someone. A person commented, “She's been giving major bully energy off late. Don't know if she's ego-tripping due to her recent rise to prominence given the multiple projects she's been a part of or her marriage to AF where she views them as a power couple not to be messed with or just her pregnancy that has led her to behave in this manner.”
