Today (August 9), Priyanka also wrote a long note recalling her role in Barfi! She started her post with, "In Jan 2009, while filming Anjaana Anjaani in New York with Ranbir Kapoor, he mentioned his next, Barfi! with Anurag Basu, a filmmaker I admired. So when Sir offered me Jhilmil, I was thrilled. We met at my Mumbai home; I’d just returned from an event, dressed to the nines. He took one look and said he couldn’t imagine me as Jhilmil. I understood; I didn’t want to mess it up either. We agreed to workshop for 5 days."
She also added, "We immersed ourselves in research, reading, watching videos, meeting children on the autism spectrum, and doing exercises in his Aram Nagar office. One day, he asked me to hurl vile Hindi expletives at him. Mortified, I still tried; it was hilarious, liberating, and pulled me out of my comfort zone. After more “Basu-style” drills, Jhilmil was born. Most Barfi!–Jhilmil scenes were improvised. Sir shared an idea, and we ran with it. This was also one of the last times my dad visited me on set."
