"Three days ago…"
The notorious Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, ready to serve you a steaming hot slice of Bollywood news with a side order of sarcasm and cynicism! So, buckle up for some behind-the-scenes insights that can only be delivered by your favorite Bollywood snoop.
Today’s dish of the day is none other than the extraordinarily talented actress Chhaya Kadam. The lady has been creating quite a buzz with her stellar performances in Kiran Rao’s ‘Lapata Ladies’ and Kunal Khemu’s ‘Madgaon Express’. To add a cherry on top, her film ‘All We Imagine As Light’ recently grabbed the Grand Prix at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Talk about getting the global spotlight, eh?
During a recent chit-chat, Chhaya spilled the beans about her experience working with the Bollywood biggie – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Oh yes, she had a stint in Bhansali’s ‘Gangubai’. And boy! She had some juicy details to share.
Bhansali’s Temper: Justified?
According to our lady Chhaya, Bhansali is a stickler for details on his film sets. She said, and I quote, "I had heard a lot about his temperament and saw it in action to a great extent on the set." But then, she had an epiphany. If someone has invested so much thought into their film, wouldn’t they be peeved if someone messed it up? Well, put it that way, and Mr. Bhansali’s wrath seems pretty reasonable, doesn’t it?
Chhaya then shared a little anecdote from the sets of ‘Gangubai’. She saw Bhansali losing his cool and thought, "This isn’t how things should be. I haven’t worked like this on a set before." But after a single conversation, things smoothened out, and the work proceeded fine. Just like that!
In a candid confession about her early struggles, Chhaya admitted, "Initially, my struggle was to find work; now, it’s about finding good work." She went on to share that earlier, even film critics didn’t know her name despite her playing significant roles. Well, critics, it’s high time you took notice!
The Moral of the Story
So, what’s the moral of this Bollywood tale? Well, here’s something to ponder – "In the world of Bollywood, it’s not just about finding work, it’s about finding good work. And if you happen to cross paths with a passionate filmmaker, brace yourself for some fireworks!"
