12 years to #Fashion It was 2008. I was just about 5 years into my acting career and had already seen extreme highs and extreme lows in it. I was told taking on this movie could be a risk. But working with the brilliant Madhur Bhandarkar and his incredible team of writers, Ajay Monga, Niranjan Iyengar and Anuraadha Tewari, for almost 6 months before we even started the movie, was one of the most collaborative experiences of my life. Then on set, bringing life into all the various shades of my character Meghna Mathur, was one of my first truly immersive acting jobs. Thank you to the incredible cast that made everything I did much better. Thank you to the amazing technicians and crew, who through all the craziness, always brought it home. And most importantly, thank you to the audience who went to theatres to watch what was then billed as a ‘female-centric’ movie and made it a huge success which in turn helped showcase that women could hold their own at the box office. #Jalwa Thank you all for remembering this piece of work with such fondness. #20in2020 @imbhandarkar @kanganaranaut @mugdhagodse @iarjanbajwa #arbaazkhanofficial, @rohitroy500 @samirsoni123 @iamkitugidwani @rajbabbarmp @kiranjoneja @themonga @ashesinwind #AnuraadhaTewari #ronniescrewvala @ritadhody @salimmerchant @sulaiman.merchant #12YearsOfFashion

She also thanked the audience for watching “a women-centric” film and proving that women could hold their own at the box office.

Fashion is based on the darker side of the fashion industry where Priyanka essays the character of a small-town girl, Meghna Mathur, who comes to Mumbai to pursue modeling. In a twist of events, she becomes a supermodel replacing Kangana Ranaut’s character. However, her fame comes at a price and she ends up losing herself. Apart from Priyanka, Kangana also won the National film award for Best Supporting Actress. The film also featured Mugdha Godse, Arjan Bajwa, and Arbaaz Khan in pivotal roles.
