In the video, Pamela Chopra recalls recording her playback song. She said, “I was actually dubbing for Lataji.

We don’t want to dub it.’ I can’t tell you what I felt at that time.” The video features many of her songs including ‘Ghar Aaja Pardesi’ from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), ‘Meri Maa Ne Laga Diye’ from Darr (1993), ‘Meri Banno Ki Aayegi Baraat’ from Aaina (1993) and ‘Main Sasural Nahi Jaaungi’ from Chandni (1989).
