Public views

Chadha argues that religion in India has deteriorated into hypocrisy, whether in the treatment of women or in the celebration of festivals.

[60] Chadha filed a 'public interest' notice in May 2018 with an appeal to defend Hinduism from Hindutva sympathisers. [61] She stated that Hinduism was under attack from Hindutva leaders. Chadha stated on Twitter, "Yes, Hinduism is in peril in India." However, Hindutva proponents pose a threat to Hinduism. Get rid of Hindutva sympathisers and the religion will be saved. In the public interest." [62] After this, Chadha received rape & murder threats from rightwing Hindu trolls. [62] Regarding her interreligious relationship with Ali Fazal, Chadha says that there are no objections from either side because his parents understand love. She believes that once you discover love, you should retain it without worrying about anything else, and she found her love in Ali. Chadha stated that her father is a Punjabi and her mother is a Bihari, and they share a great relationship that is unaffected by any form of bigotry. [63] She was quoted saying, “Look, this is India. We are all very mixed. My mother is Bihari whereas my dad is Punjabi and here I am sitting in front of you. [64]

In November 2022, Chadha apologised and deleted a controversial tweet made in response to Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi's statement that the Indian Army is ready to take back Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir if the Indian government issues the order. [65]
