Reminiscing about the shoot, Sarkar says, "It was a song that lived in the heartstrings of the country when it released. Initially, the video was to be shot in New Delhi, but due to a lot of restrictions, we then shot in the hills of Himachal Pradesh. It tells a story of love at first sight."

Shandilya adds, "I used to wonder about the difference in perspectives towards love for a 20-year-old and a 60-year-old. So I asked Khansaab to sing with Chithra. The video brought alive that love." The album was a huge success and bagged several awards.
