Manisha posted a long post on her Heeramandi experience on Instagram on Sunday and Preity was quick in appreciating her in the comment section.
“I love you Manisha. I saw the show for you & you killed it. You are such a powerhouse of talent & an even better human being,” she said.
Preity recalled her Dil Se days and wrote on Instagram: “I will never forget how lovely, welcoming & generous you were to me in Dil Se Thanks to you I started my film journey on such a positive note. You never made me feel I was working with a superstar & nurtured me on the shoot – always smiling, accommodating & ready for rehearsal & suggestions.”
