While shooting for Karan Johar's 2008 film Dostana, a miscommunication between Priyanka Chopra and Manish Malhotra resulted in an emotional scene. Manish had accidentally sent Priyanka a text message that was intended for Karan Johar, which was a relief message that it was his last working day with her. The text message read, "Thank god it's my last day with Priyanka".
Priyanka sobbed uncontrollably on reading the message but reacted very graciously, asking Manish where she had erred. The incident unexpectedly ended with the two becoming close friends. Madhu Chopra, Priyanka's mother, had not forgotten the incident, praising her daughter for being able to turn the negative into the positive.
They have since developed a good working relationship, with Priyanka and Manish frequently working together on fashion-related projects.
