Hyderabad|India|March'2010: Richa Gangopadhyay, former Miss India USA (2007-08), has become the most sought –after actress in the South in less than a month, after her recent Telugu film, ‘Leader’, directed by none other than award-winning director, Sekhar Kammula. Richa who debuted with Rana Daggubati, grandson of movie-Moghul Rama Naidu, son of Suresh Babu and nephew of superstar Venkatesh, has totally mesmerized the audiences and media with her performance and dazzling personality.

This glamorous and charming 5 feet 8 inch tall, ravishing Bengali NRI has been invited as special guest with Kapil Dev and Sania Mirza at a charity golf event raising awareness for cancer, graced an occasion with AP’s current Chief Minister Rosaiah, and walked the ramp for breast cancer fashion shows. Richa has already signed two Telugu movies with leading actors like Ravi Teja in “Mirapakaya” and with Venkatesh in “Chandramukhi” sequel respectively.

To keep up the momentum of her fast-gaining popularity as an actress, and to keep connected with her fan pool, Richa launched her own website Richagangopadhyay.com officially.Richa walked everyone through her dynamic website which offers a multi-layered palate of media snippets, interviews, photo glimpses and a look into this beauty’s multi-faceted personality and accomplishments.

Richa said, “I felt I needed my own website to virtually keep up the wonderful momentum and dialogue with the film industry colleagues and my fans. I consider myself extremely lucky to have won so much love and affection for my work. I am humbled but at the same time really excited. I am interested in doing good cinema and substantive roles, which can be glamorous as well. Moreover I am interested in the Pan-Indian film industry. Without a ‘one-stop-shop’ like my own website, I cannot showcase my talent and acting potential to the directors, producers, casting coordinators and anyone who is interested in my work. My website is designed to unveil my passion and natural talent for both performance-oriented and glamorous roles. I moved from USA to work hard and prepare. I went through Anupam Kher’s acting school to get the foundational skills. ‘Leader’ gave me an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase my on-screen skills. Now I am ready for more opportunities in the South as well as in Bollywood. I also want to do a few Bengali films as I speak the language fluently.”

Incidentally Richa is also the winner of Miss Photogenic titles, in Miss India USA and Miss India Worldwide as well as Miss Beautiful Eyes in Miss India Worldwide-both key tools for the success of any heroine in films. Richa plans to keep her website dynamic with regular updates about her projects, travels and community events.
