Richa Chadha's Preparations for Motherhood and Return to Work
Indian actress Richa Chadha, currently in her third trimester of pregnancy with husband Ali Fazal, has meticulously planned her maternity leave and subsequent return to work. Anticipating the arrival of their child in July, Chadha aims to resume acting by October.
Her immediate project post-delivery is a musical romantic comedy featuring an impressive 18 songs. The film, set in a quaint hill station in Himachal Pradesh, will commence shooting in mid-October, capturing the enchanting autumn foliage and panoramic vistas. The movie revolves around a musical band navigating the complexities of love and family dynamics.
Chadha's dedication to her craft extends beyond her pregnancy. She actively promoted her recent series, Heeramandi, and continues to fulfill her commitments as an actor and producer. Her inspiration stems from the remarkable women in her life.
My mother returned to work within a month of my brother's birth, says Chadha. The women who work tirelessly in our home - cleaning, cooking - how much maternity leave do they get? They are my true heroes.
She emphasizes the importance of support systems for new mothers. We have ensured that neither Ali nor I will pause our work during this time. Work is our lifeline.
Chadha's plans reflect a growing trend among working mothers who seek to balance their careers and family responsibilities. Her meticulous planning and the support she receives from Fazal and her family enable her to navigate this transition seamlessly.
