According to sources, Chitrangada Singh was very upset with director Sudhir Mishra who has removed an item number by Chitrangada in Yeh Saali Zindagi.

It is said by a source that "Mishra cut out the song at the final edit. Chitrangada spoke to him about it. His explanation did not go down well with her. It wasn't easy to shoot that item number and she had worked very hard on it."

However, Mishra persuaded Chitrangada and made her understand his point in removing the item number.

Mishra said that he removed it because it was not fitting in the movie. He added, "To me, it wasn't an item number. It was simply a performance. I edited it only because I felt it was not in sync with the narrative of the film."

About Chitrangada being upset over the issue he said, "But it's okay. She is fine now. Anybody in her place would have felt the same."
