In a momentous event set to take place on the 28th of October in Mumbai, the beautiful and versatile actress Richa Chadha will be honored by the French government and the Counsel General of France to India. At this special occasion, Richa will be conferred with the prestigious ‘Chevalier Des Arts et des Lettres,’ one of the highest orders given by the French government to artists in the realms of cinema, arts, and fashion worldwide. This honor places her in the esteemed company of legendary personalities like Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Oscar winner Guneet Monga recognizing her outstanding contribution to the cinematic landscape.

Hailing from a modest family of educators, Richa Chadha has carved her unique niche in the entertainment industry on her own terms, consistently defying norms and expectations. She has graced iconic films, collaborating with esteemed filmmakers such as Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Neeraj Ghaywan, Mira Nair, Dibakar Bannerjee and Anurag Kashyap in her decade long career. Richa’s filmography boasts internationally acclaimed films, including the Indo-French production ‘Masaan,’ which clinched two awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Notably, she recently achieved the remarkable feat of delivering a 100 crore film, with Fukrey 3, a milestone often associated with male megastars in the predominantly male-dominated industry. She was also on the jury of the Marrakech Film festival,which was presided upon by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola.
