On this occasion, Babul Supriyo, who has not only conceptualised the song but has also composed the melody,  expressed his delight and happiness in  working with the legendary .  actor.  “While we were dubbing the other 2 songs it was Hema ji’s enthusiasm that made this duet happen!   She is an absolute sport and surprised all of us with her zeal to try new things.  It was a challenge to get the right direction, both lyrically and conceptually, because I didn’t want it to be a regular duet song.  I am very happy with the outcome and extremely grateful to Hema ji for pouring her heart into it.  My sincere appreciation to the entire team of Saregama for making this happen so very beautifully.  I am sure the album aptly titled Dream Girl and releasing on the eve of Valentines Day will make many a heart  beat faster, for love and with love”

At the launch, Hema Malini said, “Art and entertainment is what keeps me going; it is a part of me now. I had not explored my singing talent before and I am therefore very excited to showcase this side of me to the audience. Hope they continue to shower their love on me as they have done over the past years.”
