"@priyankachopra you made Kashibai so endearing, so deliciously real, so undeniable. Big big big love and respect. #BajiraoMastani," Dia tweeted.

To that, Priyanka responded: "Thank you Dee... You are too sweet. I’m so glad."

Dia also hailed Ranveer's performance in the movie.

"@RanveerOfficial there can be no other Bajirao. No words to describe the awe, respect and love I feel for your sincerity and conviction. @RanveerOfficial your performance in #BajiraoMastani will go down in history of Indian cinema as one of the finest ever. #Legend," she tweeted.

Dia found Deepika's "ferocity, your tenderness, your luminosity are awe inspiring".
