Richa Gangopadhyay Instagram – 2020 moods so far, as accurately depicted through scenes from my movies! 📽️
This challenge made me take a moment to appreciate the variety of roles I had the opportunity to play throughout my short and sweet film career. I tried to play roles that would allow me to show my versatility, to avoid being typecast into one kind of role. 🎭
I made my debut in the Telugu film Leader, where I played the role of a news correspondent and love interest of @ranadaggubati . Archana was strong-willed, intelligent, independent with a soft and vulnerable side and the outpouring of love I received for that role was what propelled me into a full fledged career in Telugu and Tamil films. 🎬
I went on to playing the innocent, sweet and simple Vinamra (Mirapakaay), then an unsuspecting-at-first, possessed/horror role with Gowri (Nagavalli), Neduvalli, a village belle (Osthe), a trendy, modern but cultured NRI, Manasa (Mirchi), Madhu in a Bengali film (Bikram Singha), a fictitious Vasudha (Sarocharu), Radhika (Bhai) and and the most impactful and unforgettable one of them all, the strong and unconditionally supportive wife, Yamini (Mayakkam Enna), who experiences utmost trauma, perseveres and epitomizes what it means to be an “iron woman”.
Of the nine roles I played, Yamini and Archana were my favorite, not only because they are most similar to who I am in real life, but because these strong woman characters were written and brought to life by two of the most genius directors of our time in the South Indian film industry, @kammula.sekhar and @selvaraghavan . 🎥🙏🏼
If I had the chance to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing 🙂 (would have loved to do an action-packed role though!) 😜
