Chahatt Khanna: Meeting Raghubir Yadav was not just a professional encounter, it touched my heart

Yaatris, the upcoming Hindi film starring Raghubir Yadav, Seema Pahwa, Jamie Lever and Anuraag Malhan, is gearing up for a release on November 24. The film, which is a heart-warming tale of a middle-class family who embarks on a journey from Banaras to Bangkok, also features actor Chahatt Khanna in a prominent role. 

Chahatt, who has worked in both TV and films, was last seen in Prassthanam (2019), co-starring Sanjay Dutt and Manisha Koirala. Since then, she has been away from the screens.

Talking about what prompted her to take the role, she says, "The script was simply irresistible, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a part of such a heartwarming project. Romantic comedies are my forte, and I relish the chance to spread feel-good vibes through my work. When the offer came my way, I wholeheartedly embraced it, happily immersed myself in this charming narrative."

Further elaborating on her experience shooting for Yaatris, the actor adds, "I recently discovered a profound insight into the dynamics of family and relationships. The film's characters mirrored the lives of real people. The uncanny resemblance was so profound that during the filming process, I felt as though we weren't merely acting out a script but were actually reliving our own experiences. The characters' lives seamlessly blended with our own, both within the confines of our home and in the broader context of society".

Recalling her working experience with seasoned actor Raghubir Yadav, she says, "Having seen Raghubir Yadav in other projects before, I was already familiar with his talent and versatility. I was thrilled when I learned that I would have the opportunity to meet and work with Yadav. His humility and down-to-earth nature immediately put me at ease, and I enjoyed his company immensely. Even after the day's work, he would often stay up late, sharing stories, singing songs, and creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and warmth. It was as if we were part of a large, extended family. Meeting Raghubir Yadav was not just a professional encounter; it was an experience that touched my heart and reaffirmed my belief in the power of human connection. His kindness, talent, and infectious joie de vivre have left an indelible mark on me."
