Taarak Mehta fame Munmun Dutta appreciates Priyanka Chopra’s throwback post on Kaminey

Priyanka Chopra Jonas may be a global star today, but she often takes time to reflect on her Bollywood journey that shaped her career. The actress shared a heartfelt post on social media as she celebrated 16 years of her much-loved film Kaminey. Calling the project a turning point in her life, Priyanka looked back on her experience of playing Sweety Bhope in Vishal Bhardwaj’s directorial.

In her post, Priyanka revealed that she was filming Dostana in Miami when she received a call from filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. She had always wanted to work with him but never thought she would get the chance because of her “commercial” image at that time. Bhardwaj flew to Miami to meet her and narrated the story. Priyanka initially felt that the role of Sweety Bhope was small with only “about eight scenes.” However, Bhardwaj assured her that together they could make the character much bigger and more impactful. “Trust me,” he told her, and Priyanka decided to go ahead with the role.

The nostalgic post quickly caught the attention of fans and colleagues from the industry. One of the most loved responses came from actress Munmun Dutta, who is best known for playing Babita in the hit sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Munmun appreciated Priyanka’s heartfelt reflection and joined in celebrating the milestone, proving how the film continues to inspire not only fans but also fellow actors even years later. She wrote, 'You are an inspiration and it would be an understatement to say that we are yearning to watch in a hindi film again'

As Priyanka shared, “Those were the times. 16 years ago!” It is clear that Kaminey continues to hold a special place in her heart, while also reminding fans of the power of meaningful cinema and unforgettable performances.
