When shown a picture of her and Salman Khan, the actress recalled how she became a part of the film. Chaudhary told us, “Oh this one, this is from Tere Naam. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to be a part of this film. At that time, I had met with an accident so I was trying to get back into the cinema people asked me to go for songs, I tried to come as a guest in movies then. So all the cameos or special guest appearances that I paid for were super hits everywhere. And that’s also when people started calling me for songs in movies.

The song was supposed to be shot the next day in Hyderabad, but the female introduction of the main lead did not happen then. And there was a song supposed to showcase the boy and the girl, they were expected to sing together. So they were like Salman ke saath koun gaana gaayega? Call someone immediately, and it went to Mahima Chaudhary ko bulao. So how can you say no to Satish Kaushik? I told him that I didn’t have any clothes or costumes, and he was like just get your jeans and your top. And I took my jeans and went like Oh Jaana… So it was my own necklace and all of that. Thank god I had just come from America then so I had everything.“
