Chhaya revealed that Akshay’s assistant contacted her every day, though they didn’t disclose that Akshay Kumar was behind the effort. “Many media people would visit her at herhouse and make videos on her daily life. Despite being encouraged to monetize her story, she chose not to charge for interviews.
Initially, Chhaya was hesitant due to her husband’s concerns, but she eventually agreed to participate in the interview. After a full day of filming, she was asked to drop Akshay Kumar off at the Sun-n-Sand Hotel. To her surprise, she found Akshay already seated in her auto rickshaw when she arrived.
“He asked her how much she earns. She gave him a ride in Juhu and dropped him at his house..Amidst the ride, Akshay mentioned that his mother and wife were out shopping. Chhaya expressed her gratitude for the experience, saying, “Akshay told her that she could visit him anytime with her kids and family.” However, she regretfully shared that she never got the chance to meet him again.
In addition to the memorable ride, Akshay Kumar’s gift of Rs 10,000 was a generous act of kindness that provided Chhaya with much-needed financial support as she continues to balance her roles as a homemaker and a rickshaw driver.
