Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! starred Abhay Deol in the lead role along with Paresh Rawal, Manu Rishi, Manjot Singh and Archana Puran Singh in pivotal roles
Richa Chadha, who made her Bollywood debut with 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye', says she had to face some discrimination on the set of the film. In a recent interview, Richa recalled a troubling incident from her debut film when her co-star’s staff threw her belongings out of the vanity van.
“It’s happened several times with me. In fact, on my first film, there was an incident that made me feel really bad. I had come straight from college to do a scene in Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, and I had 103-104 fever. I was told that someone is going to come late, so till then I can use this particular vanity van, and for the whole day, I would anyway be shooting. So I got ready and left, but in the meantime someone came, their staff threw all my stuff," she said.
“I looked at how terrible it was. I didn’t have my own makeup and hair material, they belonged to the company itself. But they threw the stuff, and someone’s lipstick got damaged, someone’s mirror broke – so I felt really bad. How can they do this? Other people have spent money, this is their investment, it’s their daily bread and butter. You can’t do this with someone, but these things happen. Thankfully, I think now because of social media and everyone has a camera in their phones, people are aware of these things, but it does happen sadly. Unka phir hota kuch nahin hai, those who behave like this. In my experience, it’s not karma or whatever," she added.
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! starred Abhay Deol in the lead role. It also saw Paresh Rawal, Manu Rishi, Manjot Singh and Archana Puran Singh in pivotal roles. The film, directed by Dibakar Banerjee, won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film.
