Mumbai, Nov 20 (IANS) Actress Richa Chadha says southern adult film actress Shakeela was a brave soul who defied the norms of the business during her time.
Talking about Shakeela, Richa said in a statement: "She was a brave soul who defied norms of the business during her time and her story was much more than what people know of. To essay the role of a living being is additional responsibility on me as actor and team as the makers of the film."
