So I waited for the right thing. When the offer of ‘Hiramandi’ came, I accepted it because working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is every actress’s dream.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali called magical
Pratibha tells that she was nervous when she went to the shoot on the first day, because she had heard about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s strict nature regarding perfection. Pratibha said- During the shooting of ‘Hiramandi’, when Sanjay Sir was on the set, everyone used to do their work with utmost perfection, being afraid of him. The creative level of everyone was very high.

Sanjay Sir’s way of working is very different. No matter how big an actor he is, when someone works with him, he has to surrender himself to him. Everyone has to follow their vision.
