Sharing an anecdote from the making of the track, Sonakshi told NDTV earlier, “I still don’t event know how to narrate this entire experience because I still can’t believe that it happened. So I rehearsed a couple of days before the choreography of the song that it was supposed to be. I have landed up on set after rehearsing. We’ve shot till about 3 PM, done the hook steps that were taught. Kruti Mahesh choregraphed the song beautifully and suddenly Sanjay Sir said, ‘You know what, I don’t want to do this’ and he scrapped the whole thing on the set that day.”
About the track – Tilasmi Bahein presented and composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has been sung by Sharmistha Chatterjee. The lyrics are by AM Turaz and it has been choreographed by Kruti Mahesh.
