As a lifestyle expert looking back on my journey, I’ve had my share of challenges working in various Hindi and Marathi films. Yet, it wasn’t the fame that came from starring in a high-profile Bollywood blockbuster that validated my hard work, but rather the opportunity to be part of Payal Kapadia’s low-budget drama, All We Imagine as Light. Just recently, I found myself reminiscing about an unforgettable moment when I proudly represented this movie at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival last year.
For the second occasion, Chhaya Kadam attends the Cannes Film Festival. Unfortunately, she won’t grace the red carpet at Cannes 2025, but she is present to showcase her Marathi-language film in the festival’s marketplace on a global stage. During this trip, she had an emotional conversation with Sucharita Tyagi and reminisced about a special moment from Cannes 2024 that remains dear to her heart.
Chhaya recalled that whenever she reflects on her debut at Cannes last year, she is invariably reminded of director Payal Kapadia’s thoughtful gesture towards the actors. The actress from Laapataa Ladies mentioned that when All We Imagine as Light was announced as the best film, Payal had the opportunity to step onto the stage and claim the recognition, which rightfully belonged to her. However, she did not do so.
Rather than appearing solo, the filmmaker extended his support by inviting all three actors to share the stage with him at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where they collectively received the Grand Prix award. An emotional Chhaya Kadam shared her feelings, stating that it seemed as though they had empowered all the women in the world and those within the industry who aspire for success. (Even today, when I see those images and clips, I feel like we boosted the courage of every woman around the globe and within our field who have dreams to excel)
She emphasized that the image, featuring four women adorned in sarees, symbolized their unity as they represented India on a global stage. “That day,” she passionately declared, “will always be etched in my memory.” Reflecting on her film career, the actress from Madgaon Express shared that she has been part of the Indian cinema for numerous years. However, this specific moment showcased her to the world in a unique and favorable light. To conclude, she affectionately said, “So Payal, I adore you.
