This song was rumoured to be Sahir Ludhianvi's open declaration of love for the singer who sang it - Sudha Malhotra. The singer herself believed that while Sahir did shower attention on her, it was only because he loved her voice. In an interview, she said - "He must have liked my voice... I don't know what it was, but he was definitely very enamoured. He kept giving me good songs to sing, which was my achievement... All I know was that attention was being showered on me and I was lapping it up. As a young girl, if somebody, such an important person, is giving you so much attention, you enjoy it.".[MR5]
