The 55-year-old director, choreographer then shared some of her memories from the shooting day of the song.

"We rehearsed a whole day n then finished shoot in half a day ! As a reward for nailing it perfectly all Sushant wanted was food frm my house which i duly got for him," she wrote.

"I see the song n all i can see is how Alive, how happy he looks in it.. yes this song is very special to me.thank u @castingchhabra for including me on this journey," Khan added.
