The song is a love balled with lyrics describing the relationship of the two protagonists. Choreographed by Vishnu Deva, the video features Chopra as a nautch girl who is performing the song for Ram. The dance sequence is a contemporary mujra with mostly complicated dance steps. Chopra's white costume consisting of a choli and lungi was designed by Anju Modi.
