The narrative revolves around Akshay and Nupur, who are forcefully separated as youngsters by the girl's family. They reunite years later, after the girl gets into an accident and ends up at the hospital he works in.
According to India Today, the five-minute song is a romantic ballad depicting the pain of separation, however, showcases how the grown man does not get over his first love even after getting married, but manages to refrain from cheating on his current wife, even after encountering the loss of his life.
