In 2009, a film named 'Kaminey' exploded onto the screen, redefining the crime-thriller genre in Bollywood and giving us one of its most memorable on-screen pairings: Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. As the film celebrates its anniversary, Priyanka took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute, looking back at her journey as the fiery and charming 'Sweety Bhope' and the unforgettable collaboration that shaped her career.

A Story of Trust and Poetic Justice

In her post, Priyanka reminisced about being approached for the role by filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. At the time, she was in Miami shooting for Dostana (2008). Despite 'Sweety Bhope' having a limited number of scenes, Vishal's conviction and promise that he would make the role "so much more" convinced her. She admitted that her primary motivation was simply a "greedy" desire to work with the brilliant director.

Their collaboration on 'Kaminey' was so impactful that it led to another iconic film, 7 Khoon Maaf (2011), where Priyanka delivered a career-defining performance. In a charming anecdote, she revealed that after a minor disagreement, Vishal Bhardwaj wrote her a poem on a napkin to make up. His recent message to her, "Aapse kaun naraaz reh sakta hai?" (Who can stay mad at you?), shows the enduring bond of respect and affection between the two artists. For Priyanka, 'Kaminey' was more than just a film; it was a masterclass that taught her to "research, prepare and then surrender to the part" and showed her the true power of bold and unconventional storytelling.
