In the video, Pamela reminisces an incident from her playback singing oppurtunities. She said, "I was actually dubbing for Lataji. I was doing a dub, but to my greatest pleasure and happiness, I can't tell you... Jatin-Lalit told me, 'No, you have sung it so beautifully. We don't want to dub it.' I can't tell you what I felt at that time."
