Recounting her experience she wrote "Every time I have tried to put down my feelings on Kabir Singh, I don't know where to begin. This attempt will not do justice either, to how truly grateful I am, to my team, and the audience for making our film what it has become today," 

"A year ago I stepped into the shoes of Preeti, shy, demure, and basically the complete opposite of me. But I also saw her strength, conviction, her love and her passion and couldn't help but feel for the love story that you all rooted for with me," she added.
