The Mulk actress shared: "I was first brought into Bollywood because I share a resemblance with Preity Zinta. She has very good energy, and you know it well." Taapsee continued: “The aura of Preity ma’am is very lively, and she seems very intelligent. I felt like I had to live up to her reputation, as I was brought into the industry because of her name. So, I always put in an effort to be like her."

For the unversed, Shikhar is the captain of the IPL team Punjab Kings, which is owned by Preity. Dhawan Karenge is streaming on JioCinema Premium. Meanwhile, Taapsee was last seen in the comedy-drama Dunki alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Her upcoming projects include Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan?, Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba, and Khel Khel Mein.
