Preetika, sharing about the warm encounter with Ace director producer Prakash Jha recalls, "I remember that 3 years back, I had accompanied my sister Amrita (Amrita Rao) to Bhopal, when she was shooting for Satyagrah. It was too cold in the month of December. Amrita and I had gone for a dinner with Prakash Ji. It was so cold that he gave me his trademark stole that he always wears around his neck. After the dinner when I returned it to him, Thanking him, he asked me to keep it as a gift from him."

"A kind gesture like that from a veteran Bollywood director really made me feel special. I often use his Grey and Black chequered woollen stole and it's a beautiful memory of that chilly evening in Bhopal during December," avowed the actress.

Preetika, who is currently all praise for Prakash Jha's acting debut as a cop in Jai Gangajal co-incidentally shot for her TV debut exactly one year after the incident in Bhopal.
