Meryl Streep’s THIS Film Inspired Richa Chadha To Experiment With Her Accent

Richa Chadha says when she saw veteran Hollywood star Meryl Streep master the Polish, Dutch and the Queen’s English for three different films, the Bollywood actress was inspired.

“When I saw Meryl Streep master the Polish accent for ‘Sophie’s Choice’, the Dutch accent for ‘Out of Africa’, the Bronx accent for ‘Doubt’ and the Queen’s English for ‘Iron Lady’, I was so inspired,” Richa said.

Much like Streep who loves working on different voices and accents, Richa too works extensively on diction and accent.

For “Fukrey” she mastered the Delhi lingo, then for “Gangs of Wasseypur” it was the Bhojpuri twang, for “Masaan” it was Hindustani spoken in Uttar Pradesh, with more focus on Hindi, Gujarati accent for “Goliyon Ki Raasleela… Ram-Leela” and the Bambaiya for “Love Sonia” and “Abhi to Party Shuru Hui Hai”.

Richa will be learning some new skills for an upcoming film to be shot in Uttar Pradesh.
