I just thought at that time that I had never shot a one-take song in my entire career. I told him that I should do a little rehearsal for this but he had a lot of confidence in me. He had faith in me that I could do this and his faith pushed me to give my best. We shot it in one take only. I am getting a lot of love for that song for which I am very grateful to Sanjay sir.”
