Blending Punjabi and Hindi lyrics, it beautifully captures the essence of a mehendi celebration. At its heart, the song is about the longing and joy of waiting to be with the one you love, and the excitement of stepping into marriage together. This song feels extra special because it mirrors the emotions every bride feels during this beautiful celebration.”
