The concept sounds beautiful, but I hope they don't over-commercialize her innocence. We've seen how sudden fame can affect people from small towns. Fingers crossed 🤞

Utkarsh Sharma's humility is commendable - saying he didn't give her the platform but it's Mahakaal's blessing. This is the kind of positive collaboration we need in the music industry. Jai Mahakaal! 🚩

I remember seeing her viral video during Kumbh - such natural beauty! But I hope people don't put too much pressure on her. Let her grow at her own pace. The music industry can be tough.

The mirror concept is interesting, but I hope the execution does justice to the idea. Many Bollywood songs start with good intentions but end up being just another glamorous video. Hope this stays true to 'saadgi'.
