It was also during Dostana's shoot that Priyanka had differences with costume designer, Manish Malhotra.

Madhu Chopra, in conversation with Lehren Retro about the incidents, revealed how Tarun had changed since the making of the film, Dostana. She called the filmmaker a 'scary man' and shared an anecdote from when Priyanka fell sick. She revealed that during the shoot of Dostana, Priyanka had fallen sick. However, she didn't want to be the one who broke the news to Tarun. She recalled:

"Tarun, as I know him today, was not the same Tarun. He was a very scary man. One day, Priyanka had a high fever. She asked for a pill, and I gave one to her. She was insisting that she’ll go to work. But even after an hour or so, the fever wouldn’t subside. I told her that she must rest it out and not go to work. She asked me to tell Tarun because she didn’t want to be the one to break the news to him."

During the the conversation, PeeCee revealed how she learned to stand-up for herself. She added that when she was shooting for a film, the director kept on making inappropriate comments. She stated:

"He picks up the phone and goes, 'Listen, people are going to come into the movies to watch her when she shows her panties. So the skirt needs to be really short so that I can see her panties. You know those people sitting up front? They should be able to see her panties.' And he said it like four times. And it’s not even pretty in Hindi. It’s worse."
