She kept the tweet minimal, wishing "Happy New Year Everyone!" and concluding the caption with "what are you grateful for...?"

The Om Shanti Om actress then went on to wish for good health and peace of mind for herself and everyone around her.

Trigger? NCB notice for Karan Johar's party attended by Padukone
This development comes close to an update in Sushant Singh Rajput's death probe, where the Narcotics Control Bureau has issued a notice to Karan Johar on December 17.
