After the release of her Telugu film Bhai, Osthe star Richa Gangopadhyay now wants to go back to her books. “I was thinking deeply for the last one year if I want to just continue doing films or pick up my studies in the US, where I left off when I moved to India, to try my luck in Indian films,” said the leggy lass in a long twitter message to her followers a couple of days ago. The actor wants to finish studies that she had left pending when she came to India in 2008. She is also thinking of studying further even though she has a lot of film offers on hand currently. “I am not quitting films, just prioritizing academics at this juncture in my life. I feel I should not be putting academics on the back burner, which is important for my long term career. So it is not a rushed, forced, or unwise decision from my end,” she went on to explain.
Richa’s Tamil project – Selvaraghavan’s Mayakkam Enna was immensely successful while director Dharani’s Osthe did alright. Tollywood however has been keeping her quite busy. In Bhai, she was paired with actor Nagarjuna. “It is a bittersweet feeling. I am excited to reconnect with my life, family and friends in the US after five years. Yet Richa is “richer” today than 5 years ago, because I discovered an extended family in you-all my fans and friends in the industry. I promise to stay connected via Twitter and maybe will come to India to attend some events. Please wish me luck for the next phase in my life,” she said.
