Sharma said that she was shocked how time has flown and was "overwhelmed" with the love coming her way. "Grateful for the opportunity, the accidental career, the prestige, the learning, but mostly for the love. Thank you being so kind and encouraging with me always can't say I did much but you guys make it feel like a lot.

The film marked Khan and Rai's second collaboration after "Josh" the same year. The duo reunited in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Devdas" in 2002.
