Richa Chaddha recalls facing discrimination on sets of Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, co-actor’s staff ‘threw all my stuff’

Most of the items that were discarded belonged to the makeup artist, bearing the brunt of such disrespectful behaviour. Richa expressed her disappointment and said, “I looked at how terrible it was. I didn’t have my own makeup and hair material, they belonged to the company itself. But they threw the stuff, and someone’s lipstick got damaged, someone’s mirror broke – so I felt really bad. How can they do this? Other people have spent money, this is their investment, it’s their daily bread and butter. You can’t do this with someone, but these things happen. Thankfully, I think now because of social media and everyone has a camera in their phones, people are aware of these things, but it does happen sadly. Unka phir hota kuch nahin hai, those who behave like this. In my experience, it’s not karma or whatever.”

Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! starred Abhay Deol in the lead role. It also saw Paresh Rawal, Manu Rishi, Manjot Singh and Archana Puran Singh in pivotal roles. The film, directed by Dibakar Banerjee, won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film.
