Many on social media were seen complaining about why Chadha was cast in such a small role. To this, the Masaan actress revealed that she was offered another, longer part in the series but she chose and insisted on doing this role.

Social media reactions

"I wanted to play a woman with no agency, a self-destructive, lonely, lovelorn hopeless romantic! Wanted to surprise the audience also, and leave them in tears, with goose flesh. You tell me if I have been successful at that. I myself was overcome with emotion when at the premiere there was a spontaneous applause after the dance ended ! Such validation!" Richa wrote in her social media post.

Lajjo tugged at our hearts, though not sure why she was throwing away her life for a j*** yet understood her purity and love. It's what as if happened and was enacted as it was to be, just perfect. Lovvvvvvved your part to the core," wrote a user.
