Sharing some pictures, Chhaya speaks about her dream to take her late mother by flight. She writes, 'आई तुला विमानातून फिरवण्याचे माझे स्वप्न अधुरे राहिले. ...पण आज तुझी साडी आणि नथ मी विमानातून कान्स फिल्म फेस्टीव्हल पर्यंत घेऊन आले, याचे समाधान आहे. तरी आई ! आज तू हवी होतीस. हे सगळं पाहण्यासाठी. Love you मम्मुडी आणि खूप खूप मिस यू. (My dream of taking you on a flight remained unfulfilled....but today I am content that I brought your sari and nose ring to the Cannes Film Festival by flight. Still mom! You were needed today. To see it all. Love you Mom, and miss you very much).''
