While conversing about the song process she says, “Sanson Ki Mala was done two years back and then I met my friend Sayan V Roy, who is a very good photographer as well as videographer. He got this idea, post which, I recorded the song and finally everything came out to be really nice. I recorded two times for Sanson Ki Mala, as the first time I recorded, I wasn’t satisfied. Hence, I recorded it again. Also, the video took only two to three hours and editing also was done pretty well.”

Uss zamane mein jo sound create hue hai woh koi le hi nahi sakta. ‘Purane gaane ko naye generation tak lane ke liye recreations are the best way’. I like it and I do believe in recreations.”
