Bollywood actress Richa Chadha has hit out at death threats and threats of bodily harm over her new film ‘Madam Chief Minister’ with a fierce ‘Hum nahi darte [I am not scared]’ retort. In the upcoming movie she plays Tara, a Dalit woman who smashes patriarchy and fights discrimination to rise up the ranks and become a powerful political leader.
Last week, the poster of the film, in which her character is seen holding a broom, sparked outrage as it came across as a stereotypical representation of a woman from a lower caste. The makers apologised and released a new poster after those allegations.
