We had earlier reported about Richa Chadha venturing out into non-fiction as a producer, with the upcoming travel show Musafiri. The Gangs of Wasseyopur actor is producing the show under her banner Pushing Buttons Studios. Recently, the actor spoke about how she was propelled by her academic roots and love for history to produce the show.
In an official statement, Richa Chaddha said, “History was one of my favourite subjects growing up. It always felt like a way of understanding people, societies, and how we arrived at where we are today. Over the years, that curiosity only grew stronger through travel, conversations, and reading. Musafiri comes from that interest.”
Further talking about her ambitions as a producer, Richa added, “I wanted to create something that doesn't just showcase beautiful monuments or landscapes, but also the stories, memories, and communities that give these places meaning. India has an incredible cultural wealth, and there are so many narratives that deserve to be discovered beyond textbooks.”
Talking about Musafiri, she noted, “I hope the series encourages people to look at our heritage with fresh eyes and inspires them to explore the country with greater curiosity and appreciation. If audiences finish an episode wanting to know more about a place or its history, I think we would have achieved what we set out to do."
Musafiri promises to celebrate the country's diversity, taking audiences across historically significant locations through a fresh way of experiencing India's rich heritage and encouraging them to reconnect with places and stories that often remain unexplored. Rather than presenting history as a collection of dates and events, the series seeks to uncover the human stories, traditions, forgotten narratives, and cultural legacies that continue to define India.
