first venture in Hindi, Monica told SpotboyE.com, “I am really excited and this
is one project that it very close to my heart as like most of us, even I am

Monica also
mentioned that singing Abida Parveen’s song was not a very big responsibility
as she was supposed to add her own flavour to the track. The song will also
have a video which will feature Monica and the team took almost a month to get
the track ready. “The song was actually shot within a day, but the editing took
a while and finished the song in a month,” elaborated Monica.
The music video,
shot in LA and produced by Marc Chenail who has worked with the likes of
Beyonce, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, features dancers that have starred in
La La Land and worked with Madonna, Justin Bieber, Mark Ronson, to name a few.
The video was launched on September 22.
