 Saeed further elaborated, “It’s been a roller coaster ride. Right from the lyrics to the composition, getting Rishi on board for the production to shooting the video in England, it’s been an amazing experience. I’m so happy to have worked with Adnan Qazi and Kiran Malik for the video too. The whole process took about three months and I’m very proud of the outcome.
