As she walked down the red carpet with Payal Kapadia, the actress said, "It's a result of everything I did and did not do from the very beginning because I paid my dues." Talking about her fame and role in movies, she seems to have a hard-hitting question for Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Let us see what it is.

Chhaya Kadam Wonders Whether Sanjay Leela Bhansali Will Cast Deepika Padukone In A Farmer Movie

Talking about her roles, Chhaya believes that when "you do small roles, you're not respected, you're not paid well, you're treated like animals, which is so heartbreaking." She said in an interview with The Established, "I have done the role of a maid. And that's okay because I needed to do that work at that point. I did some work for the money, while some didn't have budgets so I did them only for the joy of acting." Talking about her appearance and background, Chhaya says that he was born in Konkan region, therefore, she can't imagine herself doing a role in bikini but could easily master the role where she is to wear a nauvari saree.

The actress asked, "Do you think if Sanjay Leela Bhansali were to make a film on farmers, he'd cast Deepika Padukone as one?" She then laughsoff while saying, "Conversely, if a casting director is casting for a character with the last name, say, Raheja, I am not sure they'd cast me. I'm not sure even I'd cast me in a role like that." "I don't think anyone would think I'd fit right into a role that requires me to strut around in a swimsuit, but if I am to play a character from a chawl that dreams of being in a swimsuit, I'd fit right in," added Chhaya. Talking about her question, she emphasized "I know it sounds like a really controversial and difficult question, but this is the truth, and it makes you think."
