Mumbai: Richa Chadha has been applauded for her compelling performance in the first episode of her new show, Inside Edge. She has done justice to the character of Zarina Malik by slaying in her elite look in the series. But this hasn't come easy to her; she has worked towards getting out the smashing portrayal of Zarina.

Richa, who is bubbly and easy as a person in real life, took up a role like Zarina Malik which required her to change her attitude from tip to toe. Obviously this isn't an easy task to do, but our actress made it look so convincing. She saw all the Hollywood boss lady-like movies to fullfil her performance as Zarina.

Because the story of the show revolves around the sport, cricket, Richa couldn't help but watched a lot of cricket matches in one day. Her first cousin also happens to be a cricketer, helped her a lot to understand the game and its insights.

Richa is so casually-simply-beautiful, she had to completely transform in role of Zarina who is a Fashionista herself. She is lady boss who is dressed at her best all the time. Richa has taken care of minute details of fashion to become Zarina.

Zarina Malik required to look convincing in all ways and smoking was the part and parcel of it. Richa who doesn’t smoke in real life had to smoke 10 to 12 cigarettes in a day which costed her health during the shoot.

This sport oriented show has interested Richa so much that she is planning to invest in a boxing team. Well no doubt Richa Chadha takes up all her challenges which comes her way.
