Richa Chadha extends Cannes trip for 'detox'

Actress Richa Chadha, who went to the French Riviera to attend the 68th Cannes International Film Festival for the screening of "Masaan", has decided to extend her stay as she wants to treat herself to a mini vacation.

According to a source, the "Fukrey" actress plans to visit Paris and Amsterdam before she heads back to India to resume the shooting of her next movie with Pooja Bhatt.

"The one-point agenda is to take some time off. I will do some leisure reading, shall indulge in some shopping and explore a city all by myself, much away from everything usual. This would be my way to detox before I'm back to India," Richa said in a statement.

The actress, who last attended the extravaganza for Anurag Kashyap's "Gangs Of Wasseypur", was in tears at the Cannes gala this time after her "Masaan", directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, received a five-minute standing ovation. The film was screened as part of the UnCertain Regard section of the fest.
