Career

Richa Pallod made her entry into films with a minute role as a child artiste in the film

Tarun, whom she had previously appeared with in a commercial shot by Rajiv Menon. The film, which portrayed love between two childhood friends in college, became a huge commercial success and won favourable reviews with claims that Richa "did not seem like a debutant" in her role.[2] Her performance in the film won her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu.[3][4]

She made her debut in Tamil cinema, playing the lead role opposite

Vijay in Shajahan. The film was appreciated by critics and Richa's performance was noted to have "done little good".[5] Her second Tamil film was Alli Arjuna, directed by noted film maker Saran featuring Manoj Bharathiraja. Richa played the role of an independent girl being romantically pursued by Manoj, but once again received unfavourable reviews with reviewers citing that "you do not feel for Richa".[6]

Her first Hindi film as a lead artiste was opposite

Rakesh Bapat, were low-budget projects and did not fare well at the box office. Similarly, her projects in Kannada, Cheppale and Jootata, opposite Sameer Dattani also failed commercially, with reviews criticising Richa's performance in the latter.[7] Richa went on to appear in Yash Raj Films' Neal 'n' Nikki, featuring Uday Chopra and Tanishaa Mukerji, playing the role of Sweety.[8][9] After several of her previous ventures failed to succeed, Richa appeared in a supporting role in Unakkum Enakkum (2006).[10]
