After Shah Rukh Khan, Richa Chadha receives THIS prestigious award

The award is one of the highest honours that the French government gives to esteemed artists for their contribution to cinema, arts and fashion across the world. The Fukrey 3 actress was presented the award by the Counsel General of France to India in a momentous event organised in Mumbai on 28 October. As Richa Chadha received the honour, she dropped a post on her Instagram handle expressing her contentment. The post was accompanied by a video of the actress as she received the award.
