Richa Chadha’s Role Chopped From Sarbjit? This Is What Omung Kumar Has To Say

“It is completely untrue about us cutting her role. It is a bound script, the scenes were exactly the same before starting the film and I had narrated Richa the same. So, no scenes were cut of hers in the film,” Omung said in a statement.

Sarbjit is based on the real-life story of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian villager who was wrongly convicted for spying and terrorism by Pakistani court, while his sister Dalbir Kaur tried vigorously to secure his release.

Actor Randeep Hooda plays Sarabjit in the film, while actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is seen as his sister Dalbir, and Richa plays Sarabjit’s wife Sukhpreet.

The Masaan actress, in a recent interview to a daily, said: “Some of my best scenes had to go. The one scene that I still have towards the end where I am shown bonding with Aishwarya’s character has no context since all my scenes showing my kinship with her are gone.”
