Richa Chadha is one of the finest actors we have
in Bollywood currently. She’s been versatile in her choice of roles, as well as
exploring several ways of expressing herself.
She has a distinct social media presence because
of her forthright take on issues. Because of her funny and informative twitter
feed, internationally acclaimed entrepreneurial author Timothy Ferriss
discovered Richa and asked her to contribute to his upcoming book ‘Tribe of
Mentors’. The book is a compilation of life lessons from achievers from various
walks of life.
Interestingly Richa is the only Indian to be
featured in the book joining the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Ben Stiller, Maria
Sharapova, Larry King, Jimmy Fallon, Arianna Huffington, Stephanie McMohan,
Bear Grylls, Evan Williams - Former CEO of Twitter. We say she’s in great
company.
When asked Richa about this opportunity, she said,
"I naively thought what I say doesn’t matter at least online I shouldn’t
take myself too seriously. But when I was asked to share my experience in this
exciting book, I was over the moon. I couldn’t believe it at first. Tim Ferriss
is a huge influence in the area of self-growth for us millennials.”
