Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a global icon who has conquered both Bollywood and Hollywood, recently took a trip down memory lane, much to the delight of her fans. She shared nostalgic snippets from the 2009 cult classic, Kaminey, celebrating its 16th anniversary.
The film, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, starred Shahid Kapoor as Guddu and Priyanka Chopra as Sweety Bhope. Chopra's post sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans who fondly remember her performance in the film. She reminisced about being offered the role while filming Dostana in Miami.
“I remember him telling me the story and I said, ‘Well, she has approximately 8 scenes.’ And he said, ‘With us working on it, it will end up being so much more. Trust me.’ And I did. He promised he would make something incredible for me after this in appreciation for doing the part. But honestly, I was just greedy to work with him. A few years later, we did 7 Khoon Maaf," Priyanka shared.
Vishal Bhardwaj's Heartfelt Response
Director Vishal Bhardwaj, deeply touched by Priyanka's post, reshared it on Instagram with an emotional tribute of his own. He wrote: “Ask me how much I miss those days. You have been one of the finest collaborations of my career. Remember one day, when you got angry, I handwrote a poem on a napkin and sent it to manaoo you. ‘Doosri jangaleedam ko khatam huye bhi beetein saal. Ab bhi kuch Japani afsar chhupien mile.”
