Speaking of working with the legendary Manoj Bajpayee in her first-ever dance number in Bollywood, Karishma said, "I consider it my honour and blessing to share screen space, even if it's just for a dance number, with the multi-talented Manoj sir. It was an outstanding experience of working with him, better than what I imagined it to be. There is so much to learn from him, he is so full of talent, it's unbelievable. The reasons I did the song were, one for the melody of the song and two, for Manoj sir."
