“#Bharat .. welcomes u back home @priyankachopra . See u soon .. By the way humari film Hindi hai ;) . @atulreellife @aliabbaszafar #Eid2019”, Salman tweeted on Wednesday afternoon.

Among the 4000+ retweets was PeeCee herself. “UP Bareilly ki paali bari hoon janab…. #DesiGirl forever.  Very happy to be a part of #Bharat and see all of u on set!! @beingsalmankhan @atulreellife @aliabbaszafar #Eid2019”, she wrote.
