Recently, she revealed the reason behind quitting her acting career was casting couch as she was asked to compromise during auditions.

Talking about her acting career in an interview with the TOI, Richa revealed, "I came across a casting director who said, 'Keep me happy and I will give you work.' He wanted to meet me at a hotel when I suggested meeting at a coffee shop. That was the end to all my aspirations which I had in the industry. I didn't want to ruin the image which I had built as a child actor."

Apart from casting couch, talking about other reasons, she stated, ""I have always been a plump girl. During my growing up years, I was being offered roles where I had to expose or romance on-screen. I didn't want to go against my family and or my will to take up such roles just for fame."

After leaving the industry, the actress took up a job of an education counsellor in a private firm.
