It’s so fresh catchy and young, I just couldn’t stop humming it. When the number was being recorded I was at the studio. The composer Roshan Salur heard me humming it. He said I sing well.And why don’t we record the number in my voice. I decided, why not.”

This is Nag’s first attempt at singing professionally. “We are all bathroom singers, right? What I enjoyed the most about my singing debut was its suddenness.We did not plan my song .No one, not even me,had an inkling of this. I just went to the studio and recorded.And I had fun. The bonus is, my fans enjoyed my singing.They were delighted by my unexpected gesture.”
