Along with sharing some behind the scene photographs of the film, the newcomer wrote: “1 year of Dhadak. 1 year of Madhu and Parthavi. 1 year of this family, of your love, of all these memories and people that I will cherish my whole life and never let go of. Eternally grateful to Karan Johar. With this film, you’ve given me a family, an opportunity and set me on a path I’ve always only dreamed of. Thank you for being my guiding light and Shashank Khaitan, every step of this journey I looked up to you more and more. Thank you for everything you’ve taught me, for being there for me and for giving us more love than we could have ever hoped for. Ishaan Khatter Mr Madhukar Bagla, nothing I say will be enough to sum up how happy I am that we went on this journey together and had each other to lean on, to argue with, and to find comfort in. Love you team Dhadak. I miss you’ll every day!!”
