Richa Chadha called out India’s double standards in its treatment of women at a recent event. The actress said, “India is one of those few countries in the world where violence against women starts in the womb, before the girl is even born. We have to overcome the hypocrisy in our culture. On tone hand, we celebrate Navratri, nine days of fasting for the goddess, then Durga Pooja… All kinds of goddesses in India are worshiped and praised than in any other culture. But when it comes to our women, daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, we have a completely different standard. That has baffled me since I was a child.”
