Richa Chadha turns social activist

Richa Chadha, who is busy wrapping up the shoot of her web show Powerplay, and the prep work for Fukrey 2, has taken time out of her busy schedule for the noble cause of spreading education. The actress has joined hands with her aunt who runs a charitable school in Bulandshahr, a small town in Uttar Pradesh.

The school has been run for the past five years by Richa’s aunt, who left her cosmopolitan New Delhi life to provide free education for kids coming from low-income backgrounds.

A close source reveals, “Richa has now stepped in help setup a solar project for the school. This is going to be a big help, since power outages often disrupt the functioning the school. Richa is working on the project and will soon be visiting the school to inaugurate the it.”
