Through the video, the actress reflected on the three most amazing and complex characters that she played at different points in time.

The actress while captioning the post expressed her pride and privilege of portraying some “distinct, memorable characters” in her journey of 20 years in the entertainment industry. Taking a moment to thank all the directors and the people behind them, the actress penned a lengthy heart-warming note and wrote, “#20in2020. In my 20 years in the entertainment industry, I’ve had the privilege to play some distinct, memorable characters crafted by the finest directors in the business. Today, I’m talking about 3 such amazing, complex characters I’ve played at different points in time, with depth, conflict, and resilience & working with 3 phenomenal directors who I believe are an institution in themselves. Kashibai (Bajirao Mastani) by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Susanna (7 Khoon Maaf) by Vishal Bhardwaj Jhilmil (Barfi) by Anurag Basu.”
Adding, she wrote, “Bold, loyal & fierce...Kashibai was one of the most endearing characters I've played. Thank you Sanjay sir and everyone on the team for bringing Kashi into my life. Her grace under fire is still so inspiring to me. 7 Khoon Maaf...a dark comedy with a woman protagonist who is looking for true love and tries to find it 7 times, but in the end, is still lonely. Thank you Vishal Sir for giving me Susanna - complex, immersive, impulsive yet vulnerable. To play Jhilmil, a girl with Autism was a serious responsibility. But under Anurag sirs tutelage, she turned out to be honest, raw and brought me so much joy.”
This post of the actress comes after she completed 20 glorious years in the entertainment industry. Earlier, to mark the special milestone, the actress shared a post on Twitter and invited fans to join her in the celebration as she geared up to pick 20 monumental moments of her career.
