Talking about her preparation behind the making of the song, Akanksha said, "We shot the entire song in nearly 45-degree temperature, and there was absolutely no air conditioning. Imagine 200 to 300 people packed in a single hall, all dancing, all sweating, it was intense. The heat was almost unbearable, and we were all pushing through it. What made it even more challenging was that we had just two days of rehearsal before the final shoot. Despite the tough conditions, everyone gave it their all, and I’m really happy of how the song turned out”.

Mad respect for Akanksha and the whole team! Shooting in 45° without AC is no joke. This shows real dedication to art. Can't wait to see the song - garba in Bollywood always gives me goosebumps! 🇮🇳

As someone from Gujarat, I'm so happy to see garba getting mainstream Bollywood attention! But producers should provide better working conditions - no AC in that heat is dangerous. Safety first, entertainment second.

Saw the song teaser - Akanksha's moves are fire! 🔥 But honestly, why do we glorify suffering? Film crews deserve better facilities. This isn't dedication, it's exploitation wrapped as 'passion'.

As a dance teacher, I appreciate the effort but 2 days rehearsal for such a complex dance form? Garba needs more prep time to do justice to our rich cultural heritage. Hope they didn't compromise on authenticity.

Bollywood finally showing real Indian dance forms instead of just item numbers! But 300 people dancing in that heat? Kya baat hai! 😅 Hope they had enough ORS and medical staff on set. Safety matters!

The behind-the-scenes struggle makes me appreciate the song more. But let's not forget the hundreds of junior artists and crew who suffer the same conditions daily without any recognition. The real heroes! 🙏
