Chhaya Kadam, who played the character of Manju Tai in “Lapata Ladies,” has left a lasting impression with her performance. Her portrayal has earned her praise, and now, she’s in the limelight for her Cannes debut look.

She looked charming in a golden Banarasi saree paired with a full-sleeved purple blouse. Completing her look with matching jewelry, floral adornments in her hair, a bindi on her forehead, and her mother’s nose ring, Chhaya radiated elegance and grace.
Chhaya shared photos of her Cannes look on her social media, captioning them, “Mom, my dream of taking you on a plane ride remains unfulfilled. But I am happy to have brought your saree and nose ring to Cannes today. However, I wished you were here to see all this today. I love you, Mummy, and miss you dearly.”
