Richa Chadha: You Can't Lynch Actors For Their Opinion

Actress Richa Chadha may believe that celebrities shy away from talking about politics because of "organised" trolling, but that certainly doesn't stop the 'Masaan' star from taking potshots at politicians.

 Chadha says it baffles her how people go after artistes for holding an opinion but ignore politicians who propagate "the worst ideologies" about "some communities" and women. 

"They may disagree with everything but in the persecution of women, they're unified," Richa told PTI The actress also feels strongly about celebrities being trolled. 

"The minute somebody says something, you go after them with a lynch mob, organised trolling on social media. There is no freedom of speech and you expect us to be completely free and open as if the nation building and policy making lie solely on us," she says. Asked if it is an artiste's responsibility to speak out on socio-political issues, Richa states that it is an individual choice.
