It’s a big week for Richa Chadha, as she will kick off the shoot of her new OTT series, marking her first acting project since embracing motherhood. Currently sifting through scripts to determine her line-up of projects, the actor and producer is adopting an open door policy.

If you believe in your script, reach out,” said the actor. `Girls Will Be Girls` Chadha’s filmography is proof that sometimes the finest stories emerge from new talents. Early on in her care...

Every once in a while, another bunch pop up claiming that they know the truth about Kurt’s death. And it’s happening again.Kurt’s body was found on...
