The actor also highlighted a significant milestone in Jasmine’s personal life, noting that she is set to begin a new chapter with her upcoming wedding. Calling it a period filled with life-changing moments, he wished her happiness, understanding, laughter and love in her married life.

The heartfelt message quickly caught the attention of fans, who praised the sporting spirit and camaraderie between the two artistes despite their films competing in theatres.

Both Diary and Chhaki Suna were released during the Raja festival, one of Odisha’s biggest cinema seasons, drawing audiences to theatres across the state. Abhishek’s message has added an emotional touch to the festive box-office battle, proving that genuine friendships can thrive even amid professional competition.
