'You do theatre for the love of it. You don't get any money'

Richa is a Delhi girl, living in Mumbai for the past three years. Before she made her foray into films, Richa took up acting classes under theatre guru Barry John. Richa has also studied in the National School of Drama, and done plays with Nadira Babbar. She joined dance classes as well, and learnt both classical and contemporary dance.

To groom herself, Richa participated in the Gladrags contest. "They teach you how to walk the ramp, how to stand in front of the camera..."

But life was not easy when she came to Mumbai. The first month was especially bad.

"You do theatre for the love of it. You don't get any money," she says. "I interned with Man's World magazine and that kept the home fires burning."
