Bollywood actress Richa Chadha has called out Indian-American author Deepak Chopra for his response to allegations of communication with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Chopra was named in the latest Epstein files, which include emails showing the author's interactions with Epstein. Chopra released a statement, saying he was 'deeply saddened' by the suffering of Epstein's victims and that he unequivocally condemns abuse and exploitation. However, Chadha was not satisfied with his response, re-sharing his statement on social media with a sarcastic comment. The actress referenced an incident in which a man named Deepak Kumar stood up to a mob harassing a Muslim shopkeeper in India. When the mob asked for his name, Kumar replied, 'My name is Mohammad Deepak.' Chadha used this example to urge Chopra to 'be a Mohammed, not Chopra,' implying that the author should stand up for what's right, rather than trying to downplay his involvement. The Epstein files contain 6 million pages of documents, images, and videos detailing the crimes of Epstein and several public figures. Chadha's reaction to Chopra's statement has sparked a debate on social media, with many calling out the author for his response. Chopra's statement has been met with skepticism, with many questioning his intentions and judgment. The author's focus on supporting accountability and prevention has been seen as inadequate by some, who believe he should take a stronger stance against abuse and exploitation. Richa Chadha is set to star in several upcoming projects, including a biopic on Silk Smitha. Her reaction to the Epstein scandal has sparked a wider conversation about accountability and responsibility in the face of allegations.
