On being asked, what inspired her to write for the song, which has a social message, Pinky shares, “It’s actually a music video, which tells the story of a woman Charu Maa from Orissa. What inspired me to write this song was that I had an opportunity to write a lyrical story of courage and never giving up, of rising from the Ashes. I could actually give hope and courage to many people just by the power of words. Hence Writing Hausla Na Ruthe was extremely special for me.”
