Drawing inspiration from Yash Chopra’s legacy, Karan Johar expressed his thoughts on the song’s creation, stating, “At the very onset, my instinct was to film a love song that would unabashedly pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra… The thinking evolved mind would say, ‘You can’t match it or even dare to emulate it,’ but the fanboy and ardent lover of snow, chiffons, the stunning locations of Kashmir, and sheer romance got the better of me.”
Karan also expressed his gratitude to Vaibhavi Merchant, the choreographer, who brilliantly captured the essence of the song and brought it to life. Being a Yash Chopra admirer herself, Vaibhavi’s dedication and passion added an extra layer of authenticity.
Furthermore, Karan shared the behind-the-scenes experiences of the lead actors. Alia Bhatt, who embarked on this shoot soon after the birth of her child, displayed her professionalism and commitment. Karan humorously apologized for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons, acknowledging the challenging weather conditions they encountered during the shoot. Ranveer Singh, on the other hand, tackled his first-ever lip-sync mountain love song with nervous anticipation, proving his mettle as a versatile performer.
