Aditya Dhar's Sweet Shoutout To 'Sister' Preetisheel For Dhurandhar Goes Viral

Taking to X (formerly Twitter,) Dhar penned a sweet message of appreciation for Preetisheel, the character design head for Dhurandhar and HOD. He wrote, "What I found in Preeti was not just an artist of extraordinary ability but a deeply warm, grounded and fiercely loving human being. The laughter we shared in the middle of madness, the long conversations about life, the endless hours spent obsessing over every character, those are memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life. There was something about her presence, that beautiful, reassuring smile, that made even the most impossible days feel manageable."

'Running on barely 2–3 hours of sleep, day after day, with a kind of relentless focus that you rarely witness.'

"Today, she’s not just my HOD. She’s family. A constant in my life, in cinema and beyond. Preeti, thank you for standing by me, for believing in me when I couldn’t see it myself and for pouring your heart into Dhurandhar the way you did," the director concluded.
