As her latest film "Madam Chief Minister" released in theatres on Friday, actor Richa Chadha once again addressed the controversy surrounding the movie's poster and representation, saying that it is misdirected towards her. The film's poster, which was released on January 5, was slammed by many on social media for apparently showing the Dalit community in a stereotypical way as Chadha's character is shown holding a broom in her hand.
Some users had also taken umbrage over the use of the word "untouchable" in the poster. In her response, Chadha had called the gaffe an "unintentional oversight". There was also criticism for the film's lack of representation of people from the Dalit community. On Friday, the actor said that she is still receiving angry message from people on social media.
