She wrote, “On the 2nd December 2011, 7 years ago, #TheDirtyPicture released and changed my life forever. But everytime someone asks me how I did it, I don’t know what to say… Perhaps because Milan made it so easy for me… He hand held me throughout and all I wanted was to do justice to ‘Silk’ and live upto the faith that had been placed in me by @ektaravikapoor & @milanluthria. Milan however tells me his big concern was that he shouldn’t let me down. Of course he didn’t and not just that, he lifted me so high that I felt free as a bird… For that & for believing in me, Thank you my dearest @milanluthria. Love you @ektaravikapoor”. She further thanked her entire team.
