‘Writng a book was challenging’
Richa Chadha, who is set to debut as an author, has said that writing a book was challenging for her as for many years, she did not want people to know the inner workings of her mind.
“I say this everytime but I'm lucky that I'm busy with multiple things. That's what keeps me going. And I'm a creative soul who thrives on self expression. I enjoy writing, I'd be writing even if I was a carpenter or a photographer. Writing a book is challenging because for many years, I didn't want people to know the inner workings of my mind,” Richa said
The actress said that writing gave her a break from the exhaustion of too many simultaneous shoots and projects. “I knew I was on a deadline and I realised that I needed some peace and quiet. I was already more than half way through it but I had to concentrate to the point that I am thinking about this daily. So taking a break from shoot was essential and I shut myself out and worked in peaceful isolation to complete the book,” she added.
The book is now officially completed. It will have Richa's life experiences in the form of full length stories.
Time to move on: Gary Mehigan
Chef Gary Mehigan may not be on the judge’s panel of the new season of MasterChef Australia, but he recalled his long association with the show as an experience that changed his life.
Mehigan, along with his co-judges Matt Preston and George Calombaris, bid goodbye to the show after judging its 11 seaons. “At 52 years of age I've learnt so many lessons...! MasterChef... has been a gamechanger and how lucky were we to enjoy 11 years of amazingly positive and uplifting television. We have been blessed with new friends and colleagues that will remain so for the rest of our lives. A moment in time to be savoured and remembered with a big smile," Mehigan wrote on Instagram who is now looking forward to begin new adventures.
“We are so proud. But a mentor of mine told me ‘never be afraid of change'. (It is) time to move on, maybe work a little less, dig our fingers into something new and exciting and make a different kind of TV,” he added.
