This song was picturised on Meena Kumari who made a guest appearance in the film. The actress came across the stills of this film while shooting for "Parineeta" (1953), the other film being directed by Bimal Roy at the time. Impressed by the film's visuals, she expressed her interest in working in it. Since the film's casting had already been done by then, the screenplay was modified to accommodate her. She reportedly worked in this film for free.[1][2]
