Richa Chadha has launched a new campaign to raise money to provide shelter for women who have been victims of human trafficking and the actress says though it is not compulsory; film stars should support social issues.
For the latest venture 'A Bungalow on The Hill', Richa has joined hands with KETTO, which is a crowd funding digital platforms owned by actor Kunal Kapoor.
The 'Gangs of Wasseypur' actress will help raise funds for NGO Purnata which provides shelter home in suburban Mumbai where upto 15 such girls are given various forms of training including dance, vocational training and other activities.
When asked if it is important for Bollywood stars to get involved with philanthropy, Richa said, "It is not compulsory but I think what happens is when you start doing it you feel so good. It is always a great feeling to contribute to the society.
"When you start a normal campaign, you might not get as much attention as you would get if a celebrity is attached to it. It is because a celebrity is always in the news and limelight. We as actors can make good use of that. It has always been my intention," the actress said.
