He continued, "Thank you Aditya Chopra for taking a chance with me, Habib Faisal sir for making me a part of your vision, Shanoo Sharma for drilling confidence in me & asking me to finally express myself, Parineeti for being the best co-star that I could have wished for & the entire team of Ishaqzaade for being patient with me every day on shoot - all your silent support made me believe that I could do this, but most importantly Thank you all of you who welcomed me & that wicked smile of mine !!! (PS - that's me actually looking at the sun & reminiscing in the first picture.)." Parineeti Chopra too celebrated 8 years of the movie's release. Sharing a behind the scenes video, she wrote, "Zoya Qureshi ... thankyou for changing my life girl #8yearsOfIshaqzaade."
