Richa Chadha Turns Stand Up Comedian, Gets Trained By Sapan Varma and Ashish Shakhya

Richa Chadha, who won over the audiences with her comic timing in the Fukhrey series and Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye, will be now seen in a comedy show and she was trained by popular comics, Sapan Varma and Ashish Shakhya for it.

The show’s format involves a celebrity being trained by professional comedians and Richa trained with the duo for a week. Talking about her experience, Richa said, “I love to see people laugh, it’s truly a joyous thought to stand on stage and spread humour with your words. And to know, I can do so is such a satisfying feeling. This show has an innovative concept. I have dabbled in stand up before very briefly but it was quite a challenge taking this on. Sapan and Ashish have been admirable mentors, pushing me to do better at each step. They have distinctly different styles and I imbibed a lot from their individual style. It has been both daunting and exciting to take it up professionally, even thought for a brief while and learning from the experts. Humour, for me, is a fairly natural and organic way of expressing myself. I struggled with how much of myself to reveal, because I am aware people think of me as a very serious person. So it was confusing, it is an experiment for me at best, but then I owe my career to experimentation.”

Richa, who was last seen in Section 375, is now looking forward to the release of Shakeela, Panga and Ghoomketu.
