The lyrics of this song were adapted from Rabindranath Tagore's song "Aguner Poroshmoni". The song was originally supposed to be sung by actress Soha Ali Khan. However, due to time constraints, it was eventually recorded by the film's producer, Vidya Dutta Khosla. Incidentally, Rabindranath Tagore was the great grand uncle of Soha's mother Sharmila Tagore.[1]
