Richa Chadha’s creative journey has always been defined by intent rather than convention. From choosing roles that challenge stereotypes to producing stories that push conversations forward, the actor has steadily carved a space for herself as a fearless, thinking artist. Now, she is expanding that universe further with an upcoming non-fiction series that explores travel, culture, and the human stories that define people and places. Marking her foray into the non-fiction space as a creator, the series reflects Richa’s growing interest in real-world narratives—those rooted in lived experiences, cultural memory, and everyday realities.
The project offers a fresh, engaging look at the richness of Bharat: its diverse landscapes, communities, traditions, and histories, all seen through Richa’s sharp observational lens and innate sensitivity as a storyteller. For Richa, this move feels like a natural evolution. Known for championing strong narratives across mediums, she has consistently spoken about the need for artists to keep experimenting and expanding their creative vocabulary.
This series blends travel with cultural discovery, moving beyond surface-level exploration to uncover stories that often remain unheard—stories shaped by people, place, and heritage. Her growing confidence as a producer was firmly established with her debut production, Girls Will Be Girls, a bold and nuanced film that earned global recognition and critical acclaim at multiple international festivals. The film stood out for its honesty and emotional depth, reinforcing Richa’s commitment to meaningful, thought-provoking storytelling.
With this new non-fiction venture, she aims to widen that creative palette even further. Reflecting on this new creative phase, Richa Chadha shared that her fascination with storytelling has always extended beyond the screen. “I’ve long believed that stories are everywhere—in people, in places, in cultures we rarely pause to truly understand. This non-fiction series allows me to explore that world with curiosity and compassion. As an artist, constant experimentation and growth are essential. Girls Will Be Girls marked my first step as a producer, and this project feels like another meaningful leap into a space that genuinely excites me,” she said.
Richa also pointed out that the format is not entirely unfamiliar territory. During the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, she explored similar storytelling through KINDRY, an experience that reaffirmed her faith in the emotional power of real, human-led narratives. “I’ve seen how deeply this kind of content can resonate, especially with Indians across the world,” she added. The forthcoming series is set to highlight a wide spectrum of stories, weaving together travel, heritage, and human connection in an intimate and reflective manner.
While specifics regarding the platform and format are yet to be revealed, the project clearly marks an exciting new chapter in Richa Chadha’s career—one where fiction and non-fiction exist as equally compelling mediums of expression. With this venture, Richa continues to evolve as an artist—driven by curiosity, grounded in courage, and committed to meaningful storytelling.
