Richa Chadha opens up on the 'Padmavati' controversy

Actress Richa Chadha is known for speaking her mind and has never shied away from talking about her opinions. The actress supported Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming magnum opus 'Padmavati', saying 'our culture is not so fragile that a film can ruin it'.

The actress who was present at the song launch of her upcoming film 'Fukrey Returns', told the media, "I do not think our culture and religion is so fragile that a film of two hours can ruin that. On the other hand, we are living in a democratic country where we have an appointed board that certifies our film, I see no reason for commenting on a film without watching it."
