The dance number Ram Chahe Leela from the 2013 film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is still remembered for Priyanka Chopra`s powerful and sensual performance. More than a decade later, the Barfi actress looked back at the experience of the song and reflected on her thoughts. She shared a clip from the song, and mentioned that it wasn`t an easy decision to take up the performance.
Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram on Thursday to share a post describing the song "a complicated decision" at the time, but revealed being "inspired" by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s creative vision.
She wrote, "When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker, has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories, usually over incredible food, the conversations about art, music, and dance... the beauty of the yesteryears, but also what the future holds. And then he played the song... and I knew I was her."
