She has performed in Akasha Gange in Kannada which released in 2008. About her performance in the film, Rediff wrote, "The highlight of the film is Chaya Singh who has come out with an outstanding performance as a music teacher who comes to her lover's house to win over his family".[9] Sify wrote, "This is Chaya Singh's yet another best performance. She speaks from her lovely eyes".[10] She acted in the Kannada short film Simply Kailawesome.[11] The film made on playwright T. P. Kailasam revolves around conversations between Kailasam and female protagonists from four of his plays. Chaya Singh played all the four characters: Paatu from Tollugatti, Eeke from Gandaskathri, Venkamma from Home Rule and Sule from the play Sule.[12]

She has acted in two Malayalam films, too, Mullavalliyum Thenmavum and Police, both directed by V. K. Prakash.[13] In 2008 she was acting in two Bhojpuri films.[14] Her first Bhojpuri release was Mahamaayi.[15] She has directed a Bengali film, too.[16]
