Elated by the immense support from the audience, Richa who has been away from showbiz for 5 years now took to her twitter space  and tweeted, “Wow….I can’t believe it’s already been #9YearsOfMayakkamEnna .

In fact, no regrets about anything in life so far :).”

Comparing the role withe her real life the actress revealed in a series of tweet, “Did you know that I actually fell in love with marketing and brand management while I was an actress? It’s what fueled my passion to pursue my MBA for those wondering why I left. Yes, it IS possible to have dreams other than being a famous movie star, believe it or not! In the process, I found lifelong companionship unexpectedly from my classmate-turned-husband. I reconnected on a deeper level with friends I had lost touch with while I was in India. A great decision to pursue films…but even better decision to leave to pursue my true passion!”

The actress shares reveals how her life changed and motivated her fans to live their life,”You always have choices in life. Take risks. Be open. Your decisions aren’t set in stone, your dreams and goals will keep evolving as you do. 34 yr old Richa has very different interests and lifestyle preferences than 24 yr old Richa. And I love my life now.”
