@@DonzaiNoHana You're right this version of the song was produced in India. We all appreciate all the hard works that has gone into the production of this video but note that it incorporates all the elements of the original video, reproduced and packaged for the bollywood market. However, as far as, the lyrics, music and singing of this song are concerned, there's nothing Indian about it as it's been 💯made in Pakistan, produced and released around two years earlier in Pakistan. Check the original version of this song here on KZbin. Cheers.
