Iulia Vantur said, “The most important thing, I think, is the fact that Arijit Singh has lent his voice, his magical voice, to this track. So I feel so grateful and honoured to be a part of it. And I was obviously nervous knowing that I’m going to meet Arijit Singh. But he was so warm and so welcoming, and such a beautiful human being. The moment when I met him, I was just relaxed because I knew that there is no judgment, there are no expectations in that sense.”

In the same interview, Iulia revealed that she visited Arijit Singh’s village, describing it as peaceful and charming. “We actually went to his gaon. It was beautiful. It was amazing. I love all those small shops when we were passing by car. You could see the merchants and the tailors and everyone doing their crafts and all. It was very nice, actually. And it’s a beautiful atmosphere there. These surroundings, he made them in a way that it felt so safe and warm. It’s his universe, and it’s such a beautiful universe. He’s all about music, people, community, and helping.”
