Kriti Sanon thanked her director Ashutosh Gowariker saying, "And just when i was reliving all the beautiful memories of Panipat through my phone on its 1year anniversary, Ashutosh Sir messaged me: `Happy Birthday Parvati Bai` ❤️🌹 I cannot thank you enough sir for giving me a character i will cherish all my life! Too many firsts for me.. My first period film, First historic character, First Marathi character, First time attempted Sword fighting and that too in a Navari sari! And for the first time played a narrator as well.. Its all because of your belief. To make a woman narrate a war film, only you could think of it! It just empowered Parvati Bai's character even more.. ❤️❤️

Love you sir! @ashutoshgowariker and Miss you Raaya @arjunkapoor 🤗 #1YearOfPanipat #1YearOfParvatiBai".
