Details about Richa Chadha’s maternity leave

In an interview given to the same media portal earlier this month, Richa Chadha admitted that she will bounce back to work in October. Interestingly, the 37-year-old worked till her last leg of pregnancy while actively promoting her Sanjay Leela Bhansali series Heeramandi.

In the same conversation, she also praised Fazal and said that he is very ‘hands-on’ and is already timing his work commitments accordingly. Richa quoted, “I think fathers should always be around. It’s not just about helping the mother but also about getting time with the child.”

The Fukrey actress’ decision to return to work as immediately as possible after delivery stems from Richa’s growing up seeing the women in her household resuming their usual work almost within a month. “Those women are my heroes,” she had said.
