She made a lot of headlines and heads turn last year with her appearance. She spoke about her second appearance which happens to be for a yet-to-release Marathi film. Talking about her most memorable moment at the festival in an interaction with Sucharita Tyagi, Kadam said, 'Jab us din best film announcement hui, to mujhe laga ki Payal uthke akeli jaayegi. Yaani aisa hota hai na? But wo uthi and hum teeno ko saath mein leke gayi." STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She added, 'Every time I see that photo, I feel I fuelled the courage of a lot of women in the country, especially who want to become actors.' Also, in an exclusive interview with Firstpost, said Chhaya , 'It didn't matter whether they knew how to act or not. Just their screen presence was important. Then those films needed a villain too and all movies then needed some fighting. Then the hero will give one fight and all villains will fall here and there. But now we should understand that audiences have changed. They have way more exposure than the audiences of yester-years. They want to see themselves in the characters that are shown on screen.' Chhaya believes that it's a great time for the craftsmen of today. Because once the scene was such that to be in the film industry you had to be beautiful, that was in fact the first requirement. And most importantly, an actress had to be fair. 'Now the first requirement is talent. And I would say OTT had a huge role to play in this change. The audiences understand the differences between fake and real.'

Cannes Film Festival 2025: Chhaya Kadam's Red-And-Pink Ombre Saree Is Here To Turn Others Green With Envy
Last Updated: Chhaya Kadam is at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 for her Marathi film, Snow Flower. For her first appearance, she opted for an ombre saree. For her appearance at the 78th edition of the prestigious festival, Chhaya Kadam chose to champion Indian craftsmanship in the most elegant way possible. Chhaya Kadam has made a dazzling entrance at the French Riviera for the Cannes Film Festival 2025. After earning global acclaim last year with All We Imagine As Light, which bagged the prestigious Grand Prix award, the talented actress is back – and this time, with even more to celebrate. What makes this year particularly special is the premiere of Chhaya Kadam's directorial debut, Snow Flower, a Marathi film that is set to grace the Cannes stage. But before the big screening, Chhaya is already turning heads with her latest Instagram entry. For her first appearance at the 78th edition of the prestigious festival, Chhaya Kadam chose to champion Indian craftsmanship in the most elegant way possible. She wore a breathtaking saree from the homegrown label Suta Bombay. Her ombré red-and-pink mul modal saree was a visual delight. The drape featured a unique smocked pattern that added texture and intrigue without the need for heavy embellishments. The soft ruffled hem and tasselled pallu added movement and a playful flair to the otherwise classic silhouette. Draped traditionally with pleats in the front and the pallu falling gracefully over one shoulder, Chhaya's saree was a true ode to Indian tradition with a contemporary spin. The actress paired the six-yard wonder with a high-neck red blouse that had elbow-length sleeves and pink accents on the hem and borders. Her accessories included a bracelet, vibrant pink and blue earrings and a pair of sunglasses to shield her eyes from the sun. A low bun adorned with floral accessories completed the look. Keeping the makeup understated yet elegant, Chhaya went for flushed cheeks, a pink lip, kohl-rimmed eyes and a simple round bindi. We can't wait to see what other stylish moments the actor has in store for us at this year's Cannes Film Festival. First Published: May 17, 2025, 10:25 IST

Chhaya Kadam faces forest department probe after saying she ate meat of protected animals like monitor lizard, porcupine
All We Imagine As Light actor Chhaya Kadam has come under scrutiny of the forest department after a Mumbai-based group, Plant and Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), complained about her allegedly consuming wildlife meat. A Free Press Journal report states that that the actor will be called in for an investigation soon. (Also Read: Chhaya Kadam reveals she was 'disappointed' on Jhund sets, recalls Amitabh Bachchan helped her: He's still macho man…) Roshan Rathod, Divisional Forest Officer (Vigilance), confirmed to the publication that they have received a complaint, which was forwarded to the Chief Conservator of Forests to the Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) for inquiry. He also confirmed that Chhaya will be 'called in for investigation soon'. Rakesh Bhoir, the investigating officer in the case, told the publication, 'We got in touch with Kadam over the phone, where she informed us that she is out of town for a professional trip and will return only after four days. She has informed her of she seeking a legal advice and appearing before us for the investigation.' The report states that Chhaya admitted in a video interview to a radio channel to having allegedly consumed wildlife meat. Another officer, on the condition of anonymity, told the publication that poachers in the area will be tracked down based on the information she gave in the interview. In their complaint, PAWS reportedly wrote that they came across an interview of Chhaya with Mirchi Marathi, in which 'she claimed to have eaten meat of protected wildlife species such as mouse deer, rabbits, wild boar, monitor lizard, and porcupine.' Because this sends a 'wrong message to the public' and is an offence under various sections of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, the group requested that the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, also be applied and that legal action be taken against her and others involved. Sunish Subramanian Kunju, Honorary Wildlife Warden and founder of OIPA, AMMA Care Foundation, and PAWS-Mumbai, who sent the letter, described it as 'shocking' to see a public figure openly admit to consuming meat from protected animals.
