New Delhi, February 6

Actress Richa Chadha, whose latest OTT release is 'The Great Indian Murder', has talked about what makes the genre of thrillers so popular universally.

Talking about the show, Richa said: "This is like a deep dive investigation. This is like a team cracking a case. Within that team there are different things.

"But 100 per cent I feel these things are interesting because there is a lot of crime around us and I think crime by and large is an interesting topic If you see one of the most-watched shows is 'Savdhaan India'." Ever since she stepped into the world of acting, Richa has always impressed the audience and critics with her powerful performances.

Are taking on strong-headed characters a conscious choice?

"No, not really. What happens is when people perceive you as strong-headed then those are the parts that tend to come to you. It's not something that 's conscious at all.

"I would love to play a variety of characters but obviously I am not going to turn down super interesting characters like in this one it is a no-brainer I will not turn down a character like Sudha," she added.

Richa Chadha asks her Instafam and fans:
