Richa Chadha will be seen in the role of Paro in Sudhir Mishra’s political thriller, ‘Daas Dev’, that’s a modern day adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel ‘Devdas’ (1917).

During a freewheeling chat, the actress when asked about why celebrities dismiss any scrutiny on their personal life even though it’s an occupational hazard, the actress said, “It’s not a barter where you say, hum tumhen fame de rahein hain, tum humein privacy de do. That’s not how it works. Actors are like other artistes — painters, musicians and writers. Our faces get more exposure, people know what we look like and so, they think they have a right over us. Par haq main aur zidd main farak hota hai, just like there is a difference between being a public person and a public property. I don’t think that there should be a price you pay just because you are a celebrity. We pay exorbitant taxes and that’s more than enough. Talking about privacy, nowadays, we have people sneaking a camera into a funeral. There is no end to this culture. We need to understand, where we have to draw the line. On social media, people abuse us about our work, our appearances and for speaking our mind. That, to me, is also a form of harassment.”
