Richa Chadha says it is heartening to see actresses like Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar take on roles of older women on the big screen. When Richa was all of 24, she played a mother and a grandmother in the two-part Gangs of Wasseypur series which marked her breakthrough in Hindi films.

"I feel happy that today actresses are able to take on more diverse and challenging parts. I think it is fantastic because really, the age of actors is here, the age of good content is here. The fact that there are actresses like Taapsee and Bhumi who are now playing older characters on-screen is pretty remarkable," Richa told IANS.
