Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal recently welcomed their first child, a baby girl. The new mother recently discussed the ubiquitous paparazzi culture and the problem of celebrity kids being photographed everywhere. She also made a subtle jab at celebrities, claiming that they would always call paparazzi to photograph their children.
In a conversation with Galatta India, Richa Chadha shared her thoughts on star kids getting papped. She said, “Bacchon ko thoda chod dena chaiye mujhe lagta hai. Dekho, jinko apne bache industry me daalne hai wo toh waise bhi paps ko phone krdenge ki isko cover kar lo. The rest of us, humein chod dein. (Children should be left alone. Look, those who want to put their children in the industry, they will anyway call the apps to cover it. The rest of the time, I think, leave us alone).”
Jockingly, Richa added, “Curiousity bhi hoti hai logo ko dekhne ke liye ki kya hai aur kya product nikla hai dono ke misran ka (People are also curious to see what is there and what is the product of the combination of both.”
The actress also voiced her opinion about raising a child in this generation. She said, “I guess we will decide when we get there. But honestly, there would be a few things I am concerned about like screen time, and social media. The world is changing so fast, we have AI and deep fakes and god knows what all, so a little bit I am worried about these things.”
Coming back to the topic, she said, “As far as the pap culture is concerned, I will do my best to just try and give the child a normal life. Despite being in films, we are very normal.”
